Hustler018 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi there,,,I am trying to do some research on which older amplifier should I choose. I have heard the sound of a McIntosh (MC 2105) but never owned yet. I am in New York and saw a MC 2105 in San Francisco for $720 in near mint condition. No walnut case and hasn't been serviced. I will have to get a shipping carton from McInsosh for $70 then get it shipped for about $90. Total of $880. Then a friend told me he knows somebody who is selling (locally) a MC 2125 for $850 in mint condiiton. The unit comes with the walnut case in like new condition and was just recently serviced in February of 2011. The 2105 looks a lot better but the 2125 is more powerful. Could you please help me choose which one would be best? Best sounding.... See phptos below The 2125: and the 2105: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of servicing was done on it, and can the seller produce detailed documentation of just what parts (if any) were replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I would think if the service was done right then the 2125 would be a no brainier. Thats just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnysal Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 the 2125 had better specs and was much more expensive than the 2105. if it has been restored correctly it would seem to be the better choice. regards, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
