Jacques.......Actually, there's only about 25% free space under the hood, and I'm thinking the drawing was representative of developement ideas, and managed to just linger on in their literature.
I plugged both of my MC501's into the Power Plant Premier for an hour this afternoon, along with the preamp , and all sources. The PPP never missed a beat. I was peaking the MC501 meters at 100 watts output, and the sound was wonderful. The PPP got a little warmer on top, but not warm enough to trigger the cooling fans. It is a well engineered product.
