MC 2205, refurbished with new LED lights, fully recapped. Walnut case I have a second pair for mono blocking, ask if interested and can work out a deal.
This is a seller’s market only if the piece is truly exceptional, but at US$3,200 this sits just above the typical used range for the MC2205; with a median of US$3,100 and a 75th percentile of US$3,150, it reads a touch ambitious rather than a bargain. It is close enough to fair that strong cosmetics or documented servicing could justify it, but there is no obvious price cushion here.
The MC2205 is a respected vintage McIntosh power amp: muscular, stable, and very listenable, with the kind of grip and ease that still makes sense in a serious two-channel system. If the listing includes the right accessories and the unit has been cared for well, that adds real value; if condition is only “unknown,” a buyer should verify meter behavior, channel balance, noise, and any service history before paying top-of-market money.
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. Far from mid-tier or niche boutique, it stands as a premium benchmark, favored by legendary musicians and producers across decades, blending vintage allure with modern performance for those who demand the ultimate in sonic fidelity.
