How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer?

McIntosh offers a 3 yr warranty for new equipment.   I am sure you can find a used but mint amplifier that is less than 3yrs old- and probably less than a 1 yr old- for 25% less than msrp.    Buy used, still have a warranty.  Best of both worlds.    Most problems manifest in the first few months of use.   

Best Buy carries McIntosh in some of their Magnolia stores. They offered me 10% off one will no struggle at all. 

If you're worried about price, why don't you just buy a Bob Latino M125 monoblock (120 watts each) pair for more than $1500 less than it would cost you for the Mac?   And you can save another $700 or so if you buy it in kit form and build it yourself.  You can't begin to get that kind of satisfaction from buying any commercial product.

While the Bob Latino Monoblocks are nice, they aren’t a McIntosh and will not have the resale value the Mac will have.  

Its obvious to me that many people here are totally ignorant in the art of wheeling and dealing. I always get 20-30% off everything depending on the brand. I would NEVER buy anything at Zero - 15% off MSRP. Do your homework, get quotes from various dealers just like when you purchase a car. Then use those prices to get your best deal. In this Shrinking "hobby" no dealer is going to turn down a sale if he knows you can get the same product cheaper elsewhere. And YES this works with dealers that you have never dealt with before.  Im glad some of the above posters dont manage my stock market portfolio.....Clueless!!
