    Can Classe multichanell amps drive B&W 802D?

    I know that the mono's are perfect for 802's yet I'll also have to built a m/ch system based on them so I thougt about getting a multichanel amp first and add the monoblocks later when budget allows. Can any of Classe's multichanel amps do 802's justice?

        I have a Ca 5200 driving them and a HTM 2D and 804S rears. No sweat. It was a dramamtic change from my Rotels. I am sure mono will be better but alsi much more money now that t he CAM 400s are gone except used. The CAM 600's are $7000 a piece!!!

          Yes that is brutal $21,000 to drive three 802D ops:

            New CT5300... Wow
            by SRT-10 Viper

I have 2 Lamm 1.2 Reference Amps for the front and the...

            Hello.
            I would like to change radically my system (as far as I can make understood with my dealer).

            802 vs 802d
            by beden1
            I have the opportunity to purchase a used pair of 802's, and had recently been focusing on getting a pair of 802Ds that I had been auditioning in a B&W dealer store. I have not heard the 802s to compare.
