From the Spring 97 of Home Theater Magazine's Buyer's Guide

Here it is: the hands-down heavyweight champ of multi-channel amps, by any measure. The THX certified MPA-500 is actually only half an amp - it contains the circuit boards for five 250-watt amps, while the separate MPS-500 power supply provides the juice to power them. This amp sounds so amazing partly because of its astonishingly high power-supply capacitance; with half a Farad of storage capacitors, it can keep running for about 30 seconds after you turn it off! For real top-of-the-line, no-holds-barred, state-of-the-art home theater, this is the one.
