ANTHEM MCA-325 GEN2 / amplifier

About the 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.
