Rugged power

The Anthem MCA 325 Gen2 features custom toroidal transformers, high-current bipolar output devices, premium capacitors, and oversized aluminum heatsinks that work together to provide clean, dynamic, and stable power with ultra-low distortion and noise. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB, balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, and versatile trigger options, the MCA 325 Gen2 is built for both flexibility and precision. Anthem’s Advanced Load Monitoring™ system protects against thermal and electrical stress, while efficient standby modes keep energy consumption low. Ruggedly built yet refined in execution, the MCA 325 Gen2 is an ideal amplifier for powering the critical front channels of a surround system with clarity, authority, and detail.

The best part is the MCA amps are high-power amps that have an extremely musical sound. They deliver an effortless presentation with great separation of instruments. When you take an MCA 325, connect your main speakers to it, and bypass your home theater receiver, you will think you bought a new set of speakers! It is that good.

The MCA 525 is specced to output a very powerful 225W, and it sounds it. Not only that, its level of musicality is as good as or better than anything in its price class, and it will even challenge some more expensive amps. The MCA 525 may look unpretentious, but don’t underestimate it. Its excellent all-around performance makes it my favorite midpriced multichannel amp.
