Offered is „MPC1500“ by McIntosh as second-hand device from the category „Power Distributor“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8379624708 ends on 11.11.2026 at 15:35 o'clock.
At €5,490, this sits just above the €5,359 median and a touch over the €5,424 75th percentile, so it reads as slightly ambitious rather than a bargain. It is still close enough to the core market that a clean example can make sense, but there is not much discount cushion here.
What makes it worth a look is the MPC1500’s reputation as a serious power conditioner for resolving systems: it is the sort of piece that can lower noise floor, sharpen dynamics, and let upstream gear show more of what it can do. In good condition, with complete accessories and a sensible ownership history, it remains a strong buy for someone building a high-end system—just make sure the asking price is matched by genuinely tidy cosmetics, original packing, and proof it has been working properly.
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.
