Capolavoro di ingegneria analogica anni 60’, “made in USA”, 2 ingressi phono, celebre “occhio magico” che indica la sintonia, esemplare in ottime condizioni estetiche, appena revisionato, perfettamente funzionante, valvole originali RCA, Silvanya, Telefunken. Mobile in noce in eccellenti condizioni, a complemento viene fornito con trasformatore “step down” da 220 V a 117 V, con presa americana per utilizzo in Italia / Europa
Set against a new-era benchmark, this sits well below what a restored, ready-to-play MX110 can command, but in the used market it’s not cheap: at US$4,154, it’s above the US$3,400 median and just under the US$4,663 75th percentile, so I’d call it a firm-but-not-crazy ask rather than a bargain. The number feels especially fair if this is a clean, serviced example with decent cosmetics and original bits intact.
What makes the MX110 worth chasing is the classic McIntosh tube-tuner/preamplifier combo: lovely midrange, a strong FM section, and real collectible appeal in one chassis. Buyers pay for condition, service history, and originality here more than spec-sheet virtue, so a documented restoration, quiet operation, and complete faceplate/knobs can justify the premium; if those aren’t there, the price starts to feel ambitious.
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.
