US$3,500 is a fair price for a used McIntosh MC240, sitting just below the median of US$3,600 from your 11 recent comps. With the 25th percentile at US$3,249 and the 75th at US$3,600, this listing lands squarely in the sweet spot of the current used market—neither a bargain nor ambitious, but solidly competitive for a working unit.
The MC240 is a legendary 40W x 2 stereo tube amp from 1960–1969, revered for its clean power, ultra-low distortion (under 0.5% THD), and iconic McIntosh sound. It delivers 80W mono and handles speaker loads from 4Ω to 16Ω, making it versatile for most vintage and modern speakers. If this one’s recapped and has decent tubes, it’s a genuine buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking authentic tube warmth without the SkyFi premium of US$6,990.

McIntosh Laboratory, founded in 1949 in the United States by Frank H. McIntosh and Gordon Gow, embodies a storied heritage of American audio innovation. Originally based in Silver Spring, Maryland, before relocating to Binghamton, New York, where products are still handcrafted today, the brand emerged from a commitment to superior sound reproduction. From powering President Lyndon Johnson's inauguration to the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound at Woodstock, McIntosh has shaped pivotal moments in music history and pop culture, earning its place as a cultural icon.
The company specializes in a comprehensive lineup of high-fidelity components, including renowned amplifiers—particularly its revered tube models for their warm, enveloping sound—along with solid-state power amps, stereo tuners, loudspeakers, turntables, music streamers, processors, and digital-to-analog converters. This breadth supports both two-channel stereo systems and multi-channel home theaters, delivering immersive experiences in music and film. Iconic blue watt meters on their gear have become globally recognized symbols of precision and power.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, McIntosh commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising quality, luxurious build, and timeless design.
