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?

That is  my favorite Mac amp.  Try listening to it in stereo.  It’s fantastic.
I was thinking about the 2300.  I had one for years.  Aside from having enough power to drive anything, it was beautifully voiced.  If I remember right, it has a damping factor of 13!  So the bass on this amp has a tube/valve like character to it.  Large amps usually lose something with sonic character, not this one.  It’s the one to have when looking at the 2300, 2500 and 2600 series.  It also doesn’t have an autoformer.  A close second is the Sansui BA-5000.  
I hope you had a chance to use this In you system as something other than a sub amp.
