As you may know purchasing McIntosh products are sold within the stores only, meaning they have to be available in your local area, most people will not drive to another state to due business. I have heard 1 to 3 months as well as much longer, we could get a better idea from someone who has ordered a MAC product this year and will share with us how long it took to receive their order. My local Mac dealer requires 80% upfront, probably because they have doubts when it comes to delivery. I understand orders are not handled immediately by Mac rather they wait until someone decides it is time to produce a batch. Crazy times...

Thank you everyone who responded so far. 

Let me say this about fine audio equipment....  It's always worth the wait !   

Why even buy McIntosh ?

ther meters and looks by far the best thing about them .

whe the owners btw were true Audiophile sold out to a foreign company they started taking shortcuts in build quality internally .i know 1st hand  for I sold MC for several years . It is still very respectable but sonically there is much better sounding gear for the same price point . For Example Pass Labs comes to mind, or Ayre,

Coda,Or Boulder, Gryphon, Naim,or Luxman just for example ,McIntosh does look nice and pretty dependable .my point is why wait ?

I recently purchased a Mac MA 352 hybrid integrated amp. While I don't agree with the naysayers who claim that McIntosh's biggest selling point is the pretty blue meters (they are pretty) but the performance is only "very respectable" but not top level. My problem, and that of my local dealer, is not only the backlog but the quality of the delivery.  Unless the dealer orders a number at once, where they are placed on a pallet and remain so when unloaded, smaller orders are shipped without due care by the truckers and are damaged on delivery. Mine arrived damaged off the truck, despite the robust packaging, but the dealer let me take it home until a new replacement one arrived, months later
