Risk in owning used McIntosh amps?


I am about to take the plunge in purchasing a pair of used Mcintosh monoblocks. Before I do that, I would like to seek advice from other owners of used McIntosh amps. Since the warranty does not transfer, what should be done when there is any problem? Are there other qualified technicians, especially in the San Francisco bay area where I am located, that could service the amps? I thanks you in advance for your feedback.
best regards...

I had a MA2275 that I purchased used. I had a problem, contacted McIntosh and they handled it wonderfully, for a very reasonable fee. McIntosh equipment lasts so long and McIntosh is so serious about wonderful customer service that they treat everyone very well. Keep in mind that all of that pre-owned Mac gear gets serviced and changes hands over time, they are used to it! Have no fear with the Mac gear HOWEVER fear the company that is vague about how they will handle out of warranty repairs.
