The MR87 is a notably capable modern tuner rather than merely a styling piece, and GBP 2,250 is a fair market price. It sits almost exactly on the supplied GBP 2,254 median, well above the GBP 1,708 lower quartile but still below the GBP 2,284 upper quartile, so this is neither a bargain nor an ambitious ask.
Its appeal is the combination of strong FM reception, low-distortion performance, McIntosh build and the unusually useful mix of balanced analogue, unbalanced and digital outputs. RDS, presets and the smooth illuminated tuning display make it pleasant to live with, while the AM antenna arrangement allows flexible placement. In excellent condition, GBP 2,250 looks like a sound buy for someone who genuinely wants a premium tuner; confirm the remote, antenna accessories and flawless display before committing.

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.
