McIntosh MA2275 Integrated Amplifier (Valve) I'm selling this magnificent McIntosh MA2275 Integrated Amplifier on behalf of my elderly uncle who no longer requires it. It's the first all-tube McIntosh integrated amp. Here's a review I found from googling: https://www.inner-magazines.com/audiophilia/mcintosh-ma-2275/ There were some issues with it which needed addressing when I was appointed to sell it. I arranged for Australia's McIntosh distributor and service-centre, Synergy Audio-Visual in Melbourne, to repair those issues and refurbish it. That work was completed late September 2024 a
Compared with the obvious alternative at this money — a tired mid-market integrated or a newer feature-packed amp — A$6,000 looks better than fair for this McIntosh, sitting below the A$6,371 25th percentile and under the A$6,442 median of recent AUD comparables. That puts it in strong-buy / bargain territory rather than merely “reasonable,” especially for a known model with real brand pull.
The appeal here is straightforward: the MA2275 is one of those big, musical McIntosh integrateds that buyers chase for its authoritative, easy-going presentation and long-term desirability. If it’s genuinely clean and complete, the upside is strong because well-kept McIntosh pieces tend to hold value and attract serious buyers fast. With condition listed as unknown, the only real question is cosmetic and service history, so I’d want clear photos, confirmation it powers up properly, and any service details before moving.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
