Angeboten wird „mcintosh MC 3500 Mk2“ von McIntosh als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Endverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8889344382 endet am 19.09.2026 um 12:04 Uhr.
At €27,500, this used McIntosh MC3500 sits just below the 75th percentile (€28,221) but slightly above the median (€25,160) of recent EUR listings, making it a fair price rather than a bargain, though not ambitious given the model’s rarity. The timing matters: this is the original 1968–1971 tube mono, not the new MC3500 Mk II (which retails at ~€13,900 each), so you’re paying for genuine vintage heritage and 350W of classic McIntosh power.
This is a worthwhile buy because the MC3500 is legendary for its 350W output into 2/4/8Ω, unmatched dynamic headroom (~2.5dB), and iconic green power scale—traits that define high-end tube sound. If it’s original-owner condition with no restoration needed, that’s significant upside; these are rare, often unmolested, and beloved by collectors. Only flag concerns if the listing lacks tube history or shows age-related wear, but at a fair price, a clean unit is a genuine opportunity.
