Amplifier to go with a Mcintosh c2300

I got a c2300 unopened for three months which i would like to keep if i can find a suitable amplifier to go with it.

Who has experienced with this preamp and which amplifier do you match it with? If I want to go outside Mcintosh, what experiences do you have?

A budget of $5k would be my max for the amplifier.

Should i just trade this in and get the mc7000 integrated? i am contemplating this path too.

Or what should I look for?

I would get a MC402 in a heart beat. An incredible combo.

I think you should send the 2300 to me.

If you like SS go with a MC402 like mentioned.

If you prefer tubes, a s/h MC2102 and then save for another to monoblock

No Brainer.
McIntosh MC402 is the perfect match for the C2300. The MC252 is smaller version of the MC402.

The MC352 was released several years earlier and is not the same design technology verse the MC402 & MC252
