The MC240 is a classic piece of McIntosh history, and at US$10,500 this asking price is well above the recent used market for this model. With a median of US$3,600 and a 75th percentile of US$3,664, this sits far into ambitious territory rather than fair-value territory.
What you’re paying for here is the cachet of an iconic tube stereo amp: strong build quality, a big, authoritative presentation, and enduring collector appeal. That can make sense if it’s exceptionally original, freshly serviced to a high standard, or includes hard-to-find provenance and paperwork. Without those extras, and especially given the age of this line, a buyer should want very clear documentation of restoration quality, tube health, transformer condition, and any noise or channel-balance issues before paying a premium like this.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
