Sounds great. Good condition. No remote or manual included. There is a mark on the side of it (see last picture). Both shipping and local pickup are available.
McIntosh’s headphone amps have a strong reputation for marrying serious drive with the brand’s usual build quality, and this one lands in fair-to-good territory rather than bargain-bin. With 7 recent USD comps centered at US$3,997 and a 25th percentile of US$3,825, the US$3,700 ask sits a bit under the low end of the typical range, so it reads as a modestly favorable buy.
That makes it attractive if you want a one-box flagship-style headphone rig with real Mac polish and enough muscle to handle demanding cans cleanly. The upside here is mainly value: it’s close enough to the pack to feel sane, but low enough to leave room for condition to matter. If it’s genuinely clean and complete, this is the kind of listing worth moving on; just verify the usual high-ticket details such as included remote, packaging, and any sign of cosmetic or functional wear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
