McIntosh MA2275 Integrated Amplifier (Valve) I'm selling this magnificent McIntosh MA2275 Integrated Amplifier on behalf of my elderly uncle who no longer requires it. Price is $8000 or nearest offer. It's the first all-tube McIntosh integrated amp. Here's a review I found from googling: https://www.inner-magazines.com/audiophilia/mcintosh-ma-2275/ There were some issues with it which needed addressing when I was appointed to sell it.

The McIntosh MA2275 is a landmark as the first all-tube integrated amp from McIntosh, blending classic 275 power with modern preamp circuitry. At A$8,000, this asking price sits well above the ground-truth median of A$6,583 and exceeds the 75th percentile of A$6,656, making it ambitious rather than fair.
Yet this is a worthwhile buy for its rarity and collector appeal: production was low, most units went to Asia, and the last known US sale was in 2017. With 75 watts per channel, visible KT88 and 1287 tubes, and original-owner condition from an elderly uncle, it offers timing and provenance that justify the price for a serious enthusiast seeking a pristine, hard-to-find piece.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
