Offered is „MX150 Digital Surround Preamp“ by McIntosh as second-hand device from the category „Surround-Preamp (Digital)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 64649939 ends on 28.12.2026 at 11:40 o'clock.
The MX150 remains a serious McIntosh flagship processor, and at €2,250 it looks like a strong deal rather than merely a fair buy. Your comparable listings put the 25th percentile at €2,008 and the median at €2,558, so this sits comfortably below the market midpoint—close enough to the lower quartile to merit genuine bargain consideration if the condition is accurately described.
Its appeal is the unusually capable analogue and digital section: balanced outputs, a useful MM phono stage, flexible 7.1 control, and Lyngdorf-derived RoomPerfect correction that can make a substantial difference in a real room. The main limitation is age-related connectivity—HDMI 1.3 and legacy video support are no substitute for modern formats—so it suits a music-focused or established cinema system best. Confirm the RoomPerfect microphone and calibration accessories are included, but at this price the MX150 is a compelling enthusiast purchase.
