Anthem MCA 325 Gen 2

Powerful punch for your front, left, and right speakers

Three-channel power amplifiers like Anthem's MCA 325 Gen 2 are designed to drive the front left, center, and right speakers in a surround sound system. The beefy MCA 325 Gen 2 will drive even power-hungry speakers to movie theater volume levels without breaking a sweat.

Crutchfield customers rated the original Anthem MCA 325 very highly, and we predict a similar reaction to the new and improved 325 Gen 2. It's been completely redesigned, with shorter internal cabling that creates a smoother circuit pathway. Why does that matter? Because a well-designed amplifier can do a better job of controlling the stop-start motion of your speakers' drivers, enhancing virtually every aspect of sound quality from deep bass, to dynamics, to soundstaging.

Home theater hero 

Usually power amps like this one are paired with A/V preamp/processors. Anthem's MRX Series home theater receivers have preamp outputs, so you can easily connect the MCA 325 Gen 2 and use it to drive your front left, center and right channels. That surge of added power does wonders for music and movie soundtracks.

Inside the Anthem sound

The MCA 325 Gen 2's rated power output provides a clue to this amp's unshakeable grip on the music. It produces 225 watts per channel at 8 ohms, 400 watts into 4 ohms and an incredible 600 watts into 2 ohms! Those numbers tell you that this amp has a very robust regulated power supply.

And each channel has eight bipolar output transistors, to deliver loads of effortless high-current power. The typical A/V receiver uses only two output transistors per channel. Every feature has been optimized so that you'll hear clean, transparent sound emerging from an eerily quiet background.
