PERFORMANCE LIMITS
Performance limits are the maximum deviation from
perfection permitted for a Mclntosh instrument. We
promise you that when you purchase a new C 34V from
a Mclntosh franchised dealer, it will be capable of or
can be made capable of performance at or exceeding
these limits or you can return the unit and get your
money back. Mclntosh is the only manufacturer that
makes this statement.
