Offered is „MC 462 AC Stereo Endstufe“ by McIntosh as second-hand device from the category „Transistor-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6851201895 ends on 30.10.2026 at 16:41 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for this amp: at €8,490, it sits essentially on top of the €8,481 median and just above the €8,257 25th percentile, so it reads as fair rather than flashy. It is not a bargain, but it is priced in the sweet spot for a strong used example, especially versus the €9,247 75th percentile.
The MC462 is well regarded for its big, controlled grip, easy current delivery, and the kind of authority that lets demanding speakers breathe without sounding strained. A clean, well-kept unit at this level is the sort of purchase that rewards patience, so condition, service history, packaging, and original accessories matter; if those are all in order, this looks like a solid buy rather than a risk.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
