Offered is „MA8950 AC“ by McIntosh as exhibit from the category „Transistor-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 369127961 ends on 25.10.2026 at 06:17 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for high-end integrateds right now, and the €13,290 asking price for this used McIntosh MA 8950 AC is ambitious, sitting well above the ground-truth median of €11,701 and exceeding the 75th percentile of €12,476. At €13,290, you’re paying roughly €1,590 more than the typical used market value, making it a seller’s price rather than a deal.
The MA 8950 remains one of the most respected integrated amps in its class, delivering 200W per channel with McIntosh’s signature Autoformers™, Power Guard®, and Sentry Monitor™ for rock-solid reliability and tonal richness. It excels at driving virtually any speaker, offers 15 analog and digital inputs including the advanced DA2 module, and features a 5-band analog EQ that works across all sources. If this listing is original-owner, complete with box and accessories, it’s still a worthy buy for enthusiasts who prioritize McIntosh’s build quality and sound—but only if you’re willing to stretch past fair market value.
