I have owned the MX406 and the original 9255 was the same model. Identically the same. Now with the Drz9255, it is a different model in that the onboard processing that is on the clarion, is NOT on the McIntosh. Internally for sq they are still the same, but without the processing.
Incidentally, both are built at the NY assembly plant on the same manufacturing line. The 9255 is the only Clarion that is built there. So contrary to popular belief, their amps are Japanese, not American like the McIntosh.
I used to be a dealer for McIntosh and was sponsored by them in the early 90's.
