What a great sound from the golden era. My father had the MC275 from 1961 to 2001. Never had a single problem with it. I love the MC240 even more, from 1959. They go for $3k if you can find one used. Tubey magic. Beach Boys mixed down on those.
I think vintage McIntosh is the best value around, expecially the old tuners (67 and 71) and integrated amps (1500 and 1700). Can't speak for the new ones.
Only a vintage Dynaco amp 416 or the Luxman 3045 rivals it, and I never seen these come up often.
The only new amps I have seen the rival the new MC275 are the Leben 300 from Japan.
