Price Paid:  $650.00 from Private sale

Summary:
I purchased this amplifier to drive the front 3 channels of my hometheater because my Onkyo 989 shut down at high volumes. I am able to drive my PSB Stratus Goldi's without difficulty. The amp sounds very good and there does not seem to be a limit to the dynamics. Overall a very worthwhile purchase.

Strengths:
Sound, looks, auto-turn on feature, value

Weaknesses:
None

Summary:
Except for the 3rd channel, this is the same amp as the MCA2 which I owned previously and reviewed a couple of weeks ago. I paid $764.00 for the MCA3 in Dallas and except for the service I received from Hillcrest Hi Fidelity (Plano Store)I am very pleased with this amp. Now my center channel sounds as good as the mains. One thing I didn't mention in my other review is how quiet these amps are. There is no buzz or humm that other reviewers complain about with Rotel and other brands.
If you give this amp the required break-in time, all of the brightness will disappear (at least it did with my gear).
Great amp, great bargain.
