Offered is „McIntosh MC 1.25kW - 8 months old, warranty, as new!“ by McIntosh as second-hand device from the category „Power Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9103643694 ends on 24.10.2026 at 21:50 o'clock.
Condition is good, which makes the €23,990 ask a bit ambitious versus your recent market read: it sits above the €21,698 75th percentile and well over the €20,573 median, so this is not a bargain-priced listing. The gap isn’t outrageous, but it does ask you to pay a premium for a clean example rather than get paid back by the market.
That said, this is a serious high-current Mac amp, and the appeal is obvious if you want effortless control, big dynamic headroom, and that authoritative McIntosh presentation. In good condition, with cables and accessories included, the package is more compelling than a bare unit, and the right buyer may value the convenience and rarity enough to justify some premium. Still, at this level, I’d want strong proof of service history, careful packing, and complete accessories before calling it a slam-dunk.
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.
