Mcintosh MC275 Original // Vintage Stereo Tube Amplifier / The Legend - Restored

SOLD , now part of a Private Collection

The McIntosh MC275 isn’t just an amplifier—it’s an institution. Born in 1961, this chrome-plated beast is what happens when McIntosh decides to flex on the hi-fi world. It's 75 watts per channel of pure tube-driven authority, wrapped in a design so timeless that modern amps still try (and fail) to match its swagger.

If you don’t own one yet—you’re already thinking about it.

The MC275 is instantly recognizable—stainless steel chassis, exposed KT88s glowing like little fire gods, and blocky transformers that could double as weights in your home gym.

First-time seeing one? You’ll probably drool a little.
First-time hearing one? You’ll immediately question why you wasted years listening to solid-state amps.
First-time owning one? Congrats, you’ve officially joined the cult.

The Unity Coupled Circuit design is classic McIntosh—maximizing efficiency while keeping distortion lower than your expectations of modern pop music.

This isn’t just a "warm and fuzzy" tube amp—it’s fast, detailed, and shockingly dynamic. It makes instruments sound alive, voices float in the air, and bass hit with real weight. Midrange? Creamy, holographic, and absurdly lifelike. Vocals sound so natural it’s spooky. Highs? Silky and extended, with none of that fake digital edge. Bass? Controlled, deep, and muscular. (Yes, tube amps CAN do bass, and this one does it right.)
