McIntosh 240 power amp. Good cosmetic condition with no excessive pitting. Tubes are 4 Rubys. I've had it about 10 years - a recent move and I really don't have a dedicated space to set it up correctly and use it regularly. In the time I've had it I've taken it in to a tech and had him go thru it and change anything out of spec. Left the caps alone, dont know if they are original, previous owner took good care of it. I have a video, but its mostly to sell the pre - it's on a local page, too - no shipping, you can take a close look at it and pick up in Kansas City, with limited delivery options along I-70
This is a buyer’s market for this category at the moment: at US$2,500, the asking price sits essentially on top of the US$2,475 median and well inside the normal US$1,069 to US$4,595 used range, so it reads as fair rather than especially cheap or ambitious. For a classic McIntosh amp, that’s a reasonable place to be if the piece is complete and functioning well.
The appeal here is the usual McIntosh one: strong build quality, enduring demand, and the kind of presentation that keeps these amps desirable long after many contemporaries have faded. If the unit is clean, unmodified, and accompanied by any original paperwork, box, or service history, that adds real value; at this price, I’d mainly want confidence on condition, recent servicing, and that it’s ready to play without drama.
