Your fears of buying used are unfounded. There are plenty of 275's of very recent vintage for sale here regularly by reputable members. Take a deep breath and buy one.
How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer?
I'm not interested at this time going used. No stock in my area, I'll have to order or go out of town. McIntosh has a pretty tight grip on their dealers, so I imagine not finding any here on AG. Just curious what to expect when making an offer. I'm not going to pay full retail. Ideas, thoughts? I'm not interested in other brands or amp ideas. I'm just researching Macintosh at this point in time.
