McIntosh TradeUP:
Upgrade Without Starting Over

You didn’t choose McIntosh lightly.
You chose it because it lasts.

​

The McIntosh Trade-UP program is a limited-time upgrade opportunity for owners of eligible McIntosh two-channel audio components. Qualified trade-ins may receive up to 75% of original MSRP toward a new McIntosh component when purchased through an authorized dealer.

​

At Audio Video Synergy, a McIntosh dealer since 2010, every Trade-In consultation is handled by McIntosh-trained specialists who understand both the equipment and the listening environment. That experience ensures trade-in eligibility, valuation, and system recommendations are handled correctly without pressure or guesswork.

​

Trade-up allows long-time McIntosh owners to refine their systems without starting over, preserving the performance, craftsmanship, and character that made McIntosh the right choice in the first place.

What Qualifies for the McIntosh TradeUP Program

The McIntosh TradeUP program applies to eligible McIntosh two-channel audio components only.

 

Qualification is based on the specific model, original MSRP, and overall condition of the equipment. Trade-in eligibility and value are confirmed in person by an authorized McIntosh dealer. 

​

Key qualification guidelines include:

  • McIntosh two-channel electronics only

  • Trade-in value based on original MSRP

  • Condition and model eligibility verified by the dealer

  • Applies toward new, customer-ordered McIntosh components
    ​

Program available for a limited time

TradeUP is not a general trade-in or resale program. It is a manufacturer-supported opportunity designed specifically for long-term McIntosh owners.

Why the McIntosh TradeUP Program Exists

McIntosh builds components to last for decades.
TradeUP exists for the moment when your listening needs change, not because your system failed.

Built to Last

McIntosh systems aren’t replaced because they fail. They’re replaced because listening evolves.

A Rare Opportunity

McIntosh rarely assigns formal value to legacy ownership. This program  and this timing is intentional.

Same Music. Better System.

This isn’t about new gear. It’s about hearing what you already love, more clearly.

How the McIntosh TradeUP Process Works

TradeUP is handled entirely through an authorized McIntosh dealer to ensure accuracy, value, and proper system matching

​

1. Bring in Your Current McIntosh Component
Eligible McIntosh two-channel electronics are reviewed in person to confirm model eligibility and condition.

​

2. TradeUP Value Is Confirmed
Your trade-in value is determined based on original MSRP and program guidelines, then approved through McIntosh.

​

3. Select Your New McIntosh Component
Choose a two-channel McIntosh component that fits how you listen today — not how you listened years ago.

​

4. Value Is Applied to Your New Purchase
Your approved TradeUP value is applied toward your new, customer-ordered McIntosh component.

Program Timing and Availability

The McIntosh TradeUP program is available for a limited time and applies only during the current program window.

The TradeUP program runs February 2 through March 31, 2026.
All trade-in eligibility and values must be confirmed within this period through an authorized McIntosh dealer.

After the program window closes, standard trade-in practices apply.

If upgrading your McIntosh system has been on your mind, this is the timeframe McIntosh has created to make that transition easier.
