McIntosh MC2300 as a sub amp

I have re-capped a MC2300 last year and am now using it in mono mode to power a 15" sub. I thought this was a good use of this big amp as it was just sitting around for some time.

The sound is great and tight and much better than most class D amps.

Thoughts?

I guess so.. What does a MC2300 weigh? Think of the old Grateful Dead.

Stacks of those things.. Maybe MC2500 too.

Lots of Mac, in any case. Poor stage crew. :-)

That is  my favorite Mac amp.  Try listening to it in stereo.  It’s fantastic.

It sounds great in stereo as well. 

I love McIntosh equipment. I used it for my main amp for years. 

Using a mc452 now.

Many people snub this product but have never owned and spent time really living with them. 

Give them a chance
