Offered is „Zweiteilige Transistor-Vorstufe C 200 + Röhren-Endstufe MC 2102“ by McIntosh as second-hand device from the category „Pre- / Poweramp Combination“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 529821653 ends on 10.11.2026 at 06:10 o'clock.
At €8,990, this sits well above the recent comparable market: the median is €5,752, the 75th percentile is €6,649, and this asking price is clearly ambitious rather than fair. For a used stereo power amp, that means the seller is asking a meaningful premium over what similar recent European listings have been commanding.
That said, the MC2102 is a highly regarded McIntosh piece, known for big, relaxed presentation, strong drive, and the brand’s usual build quality and longevity appeal. If the unit is truly clean, well cared for, and complete, the upside is the combination of collectible cachet and real-world usability; but at this price I’d want proof of recent service, quiet operation, and confidence in the valves and output stage before treating it as an easy buy.
