Easy on the eyes, even better on the ears. The McIntosh MC250 is a solid-state design on a classic chassis that retains the wonderful McIntosh sound without tubes. This piece presents very well visually, even the the bends and edges of the chrome chassis are some of the better we've seen. Recently serviced, with channels evenly balanced at 70 watts, this is a piece that could stay in your collection for generations.

- Liner Notes
In the early 70's Neil Young picked up a pair of McIntosh MC250 which he ran in his stereo system at home, serial numbers 22L32, and 22L33.
- Packing
- Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. This piece will ship double-boxed, and fully insulated, taking extra care to ensure there's no pressure against the face. First, the component is first wrapped in 8mil plastic. Then, the unit is strapped to a plate inside an inner box to prevent shifting, and padded on all sides. We then suspend the inner box inside a double-walled outer box using shock-resistant foam corners.
- Shipping
- This piece ships to the contiguous United States for a flat rate of $125, which includes our packaging and our insurance. Of course, we'll ship anywhere in the world, just drop us a line and we'll give you an estimate – even if you're just curious.
