Manufacturer's Website
The MB-185 Series II Signature
monoblock delivers superior performance at an affordable price. It
offers the same technological improvements and cosmetic refurbishment as
its bigger brother, the MB 450 Series II, although in this case using
six 6550C tubes and a more compact output transformer to make 220 watts
per channel. The extensive updates to the Series II amplifier include a
revised power supply, Smart-Tube technology with automatic bias
adjustment and fault sensing, and upgraded electronic components. The
result is an amplifier with improved dynamics as well as superior speed
and transparency at the top end. With its extraordinary agility, the
MB-185 Series II is ideally suited for use with planar or electrostatic
speakers as well as dynamic speakers with 10-inch or smaller drivers.
