Angeboten wird „McIntosh C2300 – Sammlerzustand, OVP, Nichtraucher, audiophiler Klassiker“ von McIntosh als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3379750678 endet am 12.08.2026 um 10:43 Uhr.
Against your database anchor, €3,500 is essentially at the median for recent comparable EUR listings, sitting just below €3,514 and well inside the normal spread between €1,766 and €4,141. That makes it a fair ask, not a bargain, but also not ambitious for this model in today’s used market.
The appeal here is the c2300’s reputation as a serious, full-featured tube preamp: big, composed sound, strong phono capability, and the kind of scale and body that keeps it desirable long after newer gear cycles through. If the unit is genuinely in good condition and complete, it’s a sensible buy for someone who wants McIntosh character without chasing a pristine museum piece; the main value question is simply whether the condition and servicing history match the asking price.
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.
