2014 McIntosh 275 all tube power amplifier, works perfectly and very clean. Very little use, the standard in tube amp audio power.
Since the listing condition is unknown, the US$5,500 asking price sits just above the 75th percentile of US$5,464 from your ground truth database, making it ambitious rather than fair compared to the median of US$5,080. While it exceeds the 25th percentile of US$1,389 significantly, it is not the bargain one might hope for at this price point, especially given the uncertainty around its state.
The McIntosh MC275 remains a legendary tube amplifier, revered for its warm, musical sound and robust 75-watt-per-channel output that effortlessly drives most speakers. Its iconic status, original-owner condition potential, and included accessories often justify higher prices, but without clarity on condition or included items, this listing feels like a risky opportunity rather than a clear buying win. A clean, verified unit at US$5,080 would be far more compelling.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
