A legendary, very rare, Class H, ≥250 watts/channel, USA hand made power amp. Not used in recent decades.
Worked great until 1 day would not power up. Local high-end shop said it was a blown power supply and they quoted ridiculous amount to recondition (since they had no schematics or parts lists). All the LED volume/gain indicator lights worked. Missing the original power button; and 3 indicator lights have been pushed inside.
When tested at a McIntosh-sponsored test clinic beat the then top-line McIntosh amp (rated 250wpc) including with slightly higher constant and peak power and just as good signal/noise. Can power the most power-hungry speakers (but I had very efficient, 103db, speakers and could rarely ever power over 1 watt average (as shown by the LEDs).

Power output: 250 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.09%
Damping factor: 100
Input sensitivity: 1.2V
Signal to noise ratio: 110dB
Speaker load impedance: 2Ω (minimum)
Dimensions: 19 x 7 x 15 inches
