Angeboten wird „MA 252 AC“ von McIntosh als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1106457132 endet am 30.07.2026 um 19:07 Uhr.
Timing matters a bit because the MA252 is a current-generation McIntosh integrated, not a legacy collectible with a strong “buy now before it disappears” premium. At €4,390, this is ambitious versus your recent EUR comps: it sits well above the €3,807 75th percentile and roughly €944 over the median of €3,446.
That said, the MA252 is well regarded for exactly the kind of buyer who wants McIntosh tone without going full separates: muscular, easygoing, and visually iconic, with enough drive to partner a wide range of speakers. If it’s genuinely clean, properly boxed, and includes the remote and original accessories, the upside is a fuss-free ownership experience with good resale stability. I wouldn’t call it a bad listing, but at this level it needs to be notably nicer than average to justify the premium.

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.
