Seller's Description

Please have a close look at all the pictures. For sale is a McIntosh MC60 power amp. As far as I am able to tell, this works fine. Unfortunately, one of the tubes broke while we were storing it, so we tossed it. However, this comes with a bag of extra tubes, which we will include. I would assume this will need some TLC, or repair. From what I was told, it works fine. It came from a man whose father was an audio engineer and had a ton of vintage gear. This amp likely sat in his shop for years untouched after he passed. I was going to have a friend bring something by to give it a load, but since the tube broke and I am not able to bias it, I would rather that be left to the buyer. I will include pictures of all of the extra tubes, but I cannot guarantee that they will work. Consider this a project. If you have any specific questions please feel free to ask! I will not be able to power it on because I don't have a load for it unfortunately.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

That asking price is fair to slightly attractive against your database: it sits well below the US$2,500 median, though still above the US$1,199 25th percentile, so it is not a steal but it does look buyable.

This is a classic McIntosh tube monoblock with real collector appeal and solid 60-watt output, so the upside is in both sound and long-term desirability. The extra tubes are a nice practical bonus, and for a clean, functional example that can be a meaningful value add. I’d want confirmation of full operational health and restoration history, since age-related service can matter more than cosmetics here, but at this level the listing reads like a sensible entry point rather than a risky premium.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About McIntosh

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.
