Offered is „MA8950 45th Anniversary AC“ by McIntosh as second-hand device from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2665190343 ends on 21.12.2026 at 06:02 o'clock.
McIntosh’s MA8950 sits firmly in the upper end of integrated amps: big power, serious build, and the kind of polished, authoritative sound that made it a standout in reviews. At €8,990, this is a fair-to-strong ask against your market anchor: it’s well above the €5,257 median, but still below the €9,050 75th percentile, so it reads as solid rather than expensive.
What makes it worthwhile is the complete high-end package — 200W per channel, broad connectivity, and enough grip and refinement to handle difficult speakers without sounding strained. For a good-condition example, that’s exactly the sort of amp people buy used to get near-reference performance without the new-price hit. I’d just confirm the included remote, packaging, and any service history, but on price and reputation this looks like a credible enthusiast buy.
