At US$3,500, this lands just under the current used median of US$3,600 and a touch below the US$3,600 75th percentile, so it reads as fair to slightly favorable, not a steal but well within normal market territory for an MC240. Against today’s new-price reality, that’s exactly the sort of number vintage McIntosh can justify when the unit is clean and properly sorted.
The appeal here is straightforward: the MC240 is one of the classic McIntosh tube amps, loved for its smooth, authoritative sound, strong build quality, and the cachet that keeps demand steady. If this one is complete and healthy, there’s real upside in buying a recognized collectible that still has a strong following and tends to hold value. At this price, I’d mainly want confidence in output health, original transformers, and whether any restoration work has already been done.

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. Far from mid-tier or niche boutique, it stands as a premium benchmark, favored by legendary musicians and producers across decades, blending vintage allure with modern performance for those who demand the ultimate in sonic fidelity.
