The McIntosh C28 was produced during the '70s – an era most aficionados consider McIntosh's heyday. The C28 is a particular favorite of collectors due to its low distortion, easy serviceability, and classic vintage styling. This example is everything you could want, both cosmetically and electronically. The glass is in great shape, the chassis is clean, with no signs of rust. It performed well on all of our bench tests, and sounds sublime in our listening room. We almost took it home.
