This McIntosh MA2275 integrated amplifier is from my personal collection. I bought it new and it has seen very little use; it has been kept carefully and is in excellent condition. The photos show the actual amplifier from several angles and include close-ups to help you judge its condition. Please review the photos for what is included, and feel free to message me with any questions.
Are you specifically after an exceptionally clean, fully serviced MA2275, or simply a strong tube integrated? At US$9,999, this is genuinely ambitious: recent comparable asks have a median of US$4,469, with even the 75th percentile at US$5,981. Unless the listing includes unusually compelling provenance, fresh tubes, and warranty-level service, the premium is hard to justify.
The MA2275 remains a desirable amplifier for good reason: it is an all-tube design delivering 75 watts per channel, with McIntosh’s output-transformer engineering, a useful MM phono stage, and the muscular, spacious presentation enthusiasts associate with the brand. It is also a substantial 2004–2011-era component, so tube condition, transformer health, bias/service records, original cage, and remote matter. At this price, insist on excellent cosmetics and complete documentation; otherwise, there should be considerable room to negotiate.
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.
