Offered is „MA 8000 AC“ by McIntosh as second-hand device from the category „Transistor-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2945002887 ends on 24.12.2026 at 17:49 o'clock.
€6,500 is a fair price, landing exactly at the median of three recent comparable listings and comfortably within the €6,329–€6,595 typical range. It is neither a bargain nor an ambitious ask, but it looks properly positioned for a good-condition example.
The MA8000 remains a particularly capable one-box amplifier: its 300 watts per channel and McIntosh output-stage design suit a wide range of speakers, while the adjustable MM/MC phono stages, multiple digital inputs, eight-band analogue EQ, balanced connectivity, and strong headphone output make it unusually versatile. At this price, confirm that the meters, display, inputs, remote, and phono section all work correctly, and that the substantial original packaging or suitable transport protection is included; otherwise, this is a sensible opportunity to buy a highly accomplished integrated amplifier at market value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
