Mcintosh MC275 alternatives?

The MC275 tube amp is back ordered for 9 months due to very high demand. I did notice Audio Classics had 2 used ones, not sure which series as they are up to series VI.  

Before you make a choice, ask yourself if this is your forever amp or not.  If it isn't, consider what the used McIntosh will be worth selling used compared to other equipment being offered?  Weather it is 2 years old or 20 years old you will get back something like 75% of what you bought it for. especially if it is in mint or VG condition.  There are few other brands but not the ones mentioned here that can come close to the Mac resale value.

Let me give you an example of my own personal experience, I bought a McIntosh MC152 power amp used for $2700, I sold it for $2500.00 in less than 3 hours posted here.  I had the first amp 3 years and sold it for only $200.00 less than I paid.  If I was selling it in today's market. I could have easily sold it for $3000.00
