Angeboten wird „MCD 550“ von McIntosh als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „CD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9552179875 endet am 26.09.2026 um 19:25 Uhr.
At €4,500, this is a touch above the €4,256 median for recent used comps and sits just over the €4,378 75th percentile, so it reads as slightly ambitious rather than a bargain. It is not wildly out of line, but you are paying a bit of a premium versus the current used market.
That said, the MCD550 is a respected, no-nonsense disc player with a strong reputation for smooth, refined CD playback and the sort of build quality McIntosh buyers tend to keep for years. If the unit is genuinely good, that helps justify the ask; a clean, well-kept example can be worth stretching for if you want one of these specifically. Given the price, I’d still want proof it reads discs flawlessly and, ideally, original accessories or packaging if available.

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.
