Performance Limits
Performance Limits
Performance limits are the maximum deviation from
perfection permitted for a Mcintosh instrument. We
promise you that when you purchase a new C 504
from a Mcintosh Franchised dealer it will be capable
of performance at or exceeding these limits or you
can return the unit and get your money back.
Mcintosh is the only manufacturer that makes this
statement.
