Risk in owning used McIntosh amps?

I am about to take the plunge in purchasing a pair of used Mcintosh monoblocks. Before I do that, I would like to seek advice from other owners of used McIntosh amps. Since the warranty does not transfer, what should be done when there is any problem? Are there other qualified technicians, especially in the San Francisco bay area where I am located, that could service the amps? I thanks you in advance for your feedback.
best regards...

Look up the dealer network on the Mcintoshlabs website, and contact the dealers. Some dealers like one here locally (Houston)can work on the Mac Stuff

You can have them serviced by MAC, just not under warranty.
I am pretty certain it must be via a dealer. So check out the local dealers before taking the plunge.

Go to McIntosh's Web site and select the Owners link at the bottom left, then select the McIntosh Service Network link in the middle of the page. From there you can get a list of authorized McIntosh service centers closest to you. Or, if you chose, you can send it directly to McIntosh yourself.

From one who has owned several different Macs for over 30 years, I will guess that you won't be having them serviced much-if ever.I bought 2 used. Great Amps.
