Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a fair ask, edging a touch ambitious but still within the recent SEK market for a C22. At kr74,900, it sits above the kr54,617 median and well below the kr90,436 75th percentile, so it is not out of line for a desirable example, but it is not a bargain either.

The C22 is one of McIntosh’s most sought-after line-stage preamps: classic tube warmth, excellent phono performance, and real collector appeal. If this one is clean, complete, and properly serviced, the value is in owning a genuinely iconic piece that still has strong demand. At this price, I’d want clear proof of condition, service history, and included accessories; without that, the ask feels justified only if the presentation is especially strong.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About McIntosh

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.
