Verkaufe meinen McIntosh MA5100 aus meiner Sammlung – ein Stück HiFi-Geschichte. Der MA5100 war McIntoshs erster Transistor-Vollverstärker (gebaut 1966–1972) und vereint Vor- und Endstufe in einem Gerät.
Technik:
– 45 Watt pro Kanal an 8 Ω
– Frequenzgang 10 Hz–20 kHz
– Klirrfaktor 0,25 %, Dämpfungsfaktor 80
Zustand: für sein Alter optisch sehr gut. Das beim MA5100 bekannte Problem – Blasenbildung im schwarzen Lack hinter dem Frontglas durch die Hitze der Lampen – hat dieses Exemplar nicht, was eher selten ist. Der Verstärker funktioniert einwandfrei, ist im Originalzustand und wurde weder gewartet noch modifiziert.
Bei einem über 50 Jahre alten Gerät sind leichte altersbedingte Gebrauchsspuren normal.
Privatverkauf, keine Garantie oder Rücknahme.
This one is right on the money for the market. At €1,100, it sits essentially on the €1,082 median and just above the €1,166 75th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-slightly-strong asking price rather than a bargain or a stretch.
What makes it appealing is the reputation: this is a classic McIntosh integrated, built for smooth, authoritative sound and long-term serviceability rather than flashy specs. In excellent condition, that matters a lot; clean cosmetics and a properly functioning control set are worth paying for, especially on a vintage piece where originality and maintenance history can make a big difference. If it’s been serviced and the seller can show stable operation, it’s a solid buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

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.
