Since discovering Mc, I have listened to many of them that coincidentally became available to me for various reasons. I auditioned a Mc2200 that sounded remarkably smooth, on the soft side, with strong bass and a lot of body to the midrange. The vocals were very believable and had a goose-bump-inducing quality about them (this was on Magnepan 3.5 with a McIntosh C33 preamp). I was impressed that an amp that is 26 years old could sound so good. Huge amounts of power too. I am sure the 2250 is more of the same. I owned a 2125 for a while and loved it too although it ultimately did not quite have the resolution of my much more modern McIntosh MC7100 to which it succumbed. Nonetheless, for the money today, they are a great value and worth having IMO. Arthur
