McIntosh MA6900 or MA8950 or similar Integrated Amplifier (Hybrid) Hybrid or solid state Condition: Very good Payment Method: Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Astrosound 0 Comments AUD $10,000 Date: January 1Jan 1
The McIntosh MA6900 is a rare, high-power all-analog integrated from the early 2000s, prized for its 200W/channel class A/B output and built-in five-band equalizer. At A$10,000, the asking price is ambitious—it sits well above the typical used range of A$5,400 to A$8,800 (based on USD listings of $3,600–$5,850 converted at ~1.5 AUD/USD). This is not a bargain; it’s a premium valuation likely reserved for pristine, original-owner units with original packaging.
Still, if this listing includes original packaging, remote, manual, and is in very good cosmetic and working condition, the MA6900 offers meaningful upside: it’s a robust, versatile amplifier with phono input and EQ that few modern units match. Its rarity and solid build quality make it a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts seeking vintage McIntosh power with analog flexibility—provided the price reflects its true condition and completeness.
