McIntosh can deliver.

that independently indicates the real time power reading of the three
front channels.

Delivers 250 Watts per channel when using just the three front channels.
When using all 7 channels, each receive a healthy 200 Watts per channel.

Dynamic Power Manager® (DPM) technology delivers the full 200 or 250
Watts to either 4 or 8 Ohm speakers.

Compared to previous model, dynamic headroom - a key feature in a
home theater amplifier - increased 94% from 1.7dB to 3.3dB.

silently cool the amplifier; as a result, noisy cooling fans are not needed.
A quiet, specially wound toroidal isolation power transformer also helps
keep noise to a minimum.

Has multiple uses: it can power a 7-channel home theater; it can be
paired with either our MI128 or MI254 digital amplifiers in theaters that
have more than 7-channels; or it can be used in 5-channel theaters with
2 of its channels available to power a second audio zone.

power management system, and direct LED lighting of the front panel.
