Offered is „MC1502 Power Amplifier“ by McIntosh as exhibit from the category „Power Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3265428342 ends on 04.12.2026 at 22:43 o'clock.
€12,000 is an ambitious ask: it sits well above your recent comparable range, with a median of €8,029 and a 75th percentile of €10,015. Unless this example is exceptional—near-mint, complete, recently serviced, and supplied with its original packaging—there is meaningful room to negotiate.
The MC1502 remains a highly desirable high-power valve amplifier, delivering 150 watts per channel into 2, 4, or 8 ohms, with the Unity Coupled output stage offering broad speaker compatibility. Its substantial, controlled low end and gently warm balance make it a compelling partner for demanding loudspeakers. At this price, insist on convincing evidence of tube health, quiet operation, clean transformers and meters, service history, and safe shipping; around the market median, it would look considerably more attractive.
