Where are the inputs and for what reasons are there XLR Outputs on the front panel?
Therefore... Nice clean work!
I like your finish, one special detail, put the input in the front, also you can put the output and the switch. We all the time are connecting and reconnecting our equipment, since long time ago I use this disposition.
Best Regards
Thanks!🙂

After half year of work, I have finally finished my MC452 copy 🙂 2x500W into 4R and 8R.

I need to find someone with audio precision to get reliable THD measurements, but here is THD in my diy capabilities:
and video how meters works:

2anatech: evaluating sound is very hard to describe and subjective issue, but it definitely has huge power with no compromises and incredibly low distortion across the range and is very quiet in terms of noise and hum, about >20dB quieter than original mac 😉 and sounds a bit tube-like 🙂 in my opinion it is very similar and "sterile" precision sound as MC275 but more powerful thanks to better dynamic. The biggest disadvantage is the weight 😀 45kg

Not real DIY, but here for complete revision after getting them very very cheap. Two of them will drive my lows when finished 😎.
They are build in 1999 and were kicked in the *** for many years, but they're nearly indistructible - except for the caps. Their lifetime might be reached

I see loads of To-3 power devices sitting on a negligible heatsink ?
Depending on the wattage involved, it needs some serious fan cooling in there.
A two-dimensional photo can't really determine the actual size of things.
