This is a beautiful piece from a non-smoking home….The wood case is super nice and over built….I upgraded the lamps to LEDs from Mac, new differential pair transistors (gain matched) from OnSemi, new driver transistors and new output transistors (also OnSemi and matched)…The outputs are sitting on silicone wafers for better heat transfer…Cleaned/lubed the controls properly, biased, etc…The chassis is beautiful and I even rebuilt the faceplate using new sealing foam…Less than 15mv of DC offset per channel and sounds FANTASTIC!…..Free Shipping!!!!
This is a seller’s market for this listing: at US$3,300, it sits well above the US$2,348 75th percentile and far over the US$1,397 median for recent comparable USD listings, so the ask is ambitious rather than fair. For a used integrated amp, that means the price is asking you to pay a premium before you’ve even confirmed condition.
The upside is that this model is respected for its solid, musical McIntosh presentation and straightforward, no-fuss integrated format, which keeps it attractive to buyers who want vintage character without a separate pre/power stack. If it’s truly clean, fully serviced, and complete with the original knobs, cap, or paperwork, there’s some collector appeal here—but at this price, a buyer should want proof of recent maintenance and truly excellent cosmetic condition.
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.
