Description from the seller
For sale: McIntosh integrated MA6500, 200W into 4 ohms and 120W into 8 ohms per channel, MM phono input, I don’t think any further explanation is needed for an integrated with such prestige, unanimously appreciated by several prominent figures in Italian audiophilia, described by the late Bebo Moroni as perhaps the best McIntosh integrated. Complete with manual and remote (never used), no packaging. Condition: near mint.
