mcintosh home theater pre-amp tuners.


I have a McIntosh mx132 home theater pre-amp tuner. it's list price was 7k. I see on ebay that many of these, mx130, mx135 and so on doesn't retain their value. is there a reason for this and where doe's mine stand?

i use my mx132 for 2 chanell use to match my mc602amp. would this be a good match?
i don't have home theater. i only listen to music. i wanted a pre-amp tuner to match the appearance of my 602. most of the pre-amp tuners are the older models. so this is why i bought the 132.
scorpio1951, i bought my mx132 from audio classics about 3 years ago from audio classics for $1200.00.  my son gave me the mc602. i bought the mx132 because it was what i could afford.
only reason i bought the mx 132 is because i don't have funds for a separate pre-amp and tuner. being retired and on a fixed income does'nt help any.
i am not an audiofile. i'm 65 and bought my first system back in the 4 chanell days which i used all the time from then till 1990 then i took a 10 years vacation from my equipment. in 2000  i did buy a 2205 amp till 2011. then my son gave me his 602 which he bought from audio classics. at that time i used my marantz 4300 as a pre amp tuner. it was always noisy so that's when i bought the mx132. i only use my stereo only once a week. so i'm not really an audiofile!
hlg3, i did'nt say that my 4 speakers are 4 bose 901 series 2 speakers. i used to visit a mcintosh dealer to look at there products . he told me that he never heard of a mcintosh amp powering these speakers.
