I remember buying an MX112 and MC2505 from a woman in Little Rock. Both were in walnut cabinets and she had treated them with kid gloves since new. She sold me the pair for less than $500 (hey - this was like '94) as she had upgraded to a Bose system maybe. Those pieces sounded like new. I spent a ton of time cleaning them up and they looked just gorgeous all lit up.
That would have been a very nice entry level system to sell in it's time. Even today, the MC2505 would just kick the snot out of a LOT of brand new amps.
I recently parted ways with my last MC2105 (begrudgingly). IMHO, the MC2505 and MC2105 exude what vintage SS McIntosh should be - looks, performance, value - they have it in spades. And if an MC2105 was good enough for Howard Hughes, it's good enough for most of us!
