"So, what is it that I am looking for from McIntosh. Just by your question, I will assume you are young..."-
Actually I did grow up in the late '60s-'70s - and, as Luck would have it, I have my father's C-8, Mc-30 (2 of ea) and Fisher 80, along with a bunch of other gear...
If you want that McIntosh sound - I'd either go for the new(er) MC-275, or NEW MC75, or get an older tube amp.
If you want the SS path - MC 2105 it the one I lust after...
Good luck

6bq5... I meant no disrespect in my statement. I happy for you that you had a Father who was into the hobby and he passed it on to you. However, I was not so fortunate. Mine was never into audio. What I learned, I learned on my own. I remember being on Christmas break from college, and my Dad's friend called and he was talking about getting his son a stereo outfit. Dad told him to hold on and he gave me the phone. I educated him a little, we spent a half hour to forty-five minutes. His son ended up with a nice audio system.
What I was getting at is young boys always aspire to own something special, and McIntosh was it for me.
No worries on the age question-
I originally thought you were younger - hence the 'what are you looking for'
I get the lure of what we cherished when we were young- I had been working on my dad for years on the old McIntosh gear - he had stopped using it about when Radio Shack stopped selling tubes...
It is worth it - and I love using the MR-74 as my daily tuner - nothing quite like the McIntosh light show!
Good luck with getting a piece of the dream!
Happy Listening
