The asking price of US$4,199 is fair, sitting just above the median of US$4,197 from your database. It is not a bargain, as it exceeds the 25th percentile of US$4,196, but it is also not ambitious, since it remains well below the 75th percentile of US$4,198. This places the listing squarely in the typical used market range for this high-end processor.

McIntosh Laboratory, founded in 1949 in the United States by Frank H. McIntosh and Gordon Gow, embodies a storied heritage of American audio innovation.
