I recently purchased a pair of N802's. The amp which powers them is a Rotel RB-1080 ( 200 wpc at 8 ohms, 330 wpc at 4 ohms). I brought home a demo
Proceed Amp 2 ( 125 wpc at 8 ohms, 250 wpc at 4 ohms) to compare.
I know Proceed is a good amp. But the N802's are power hungry and I figured my Rotel could match it with the higher wpc. WRONG! This lower power amp was fundementally superior. The mids and upper range was articulate and defined. There was less effort as well as a deeper sound stage.
I was hoping the Rotel would perform better with the 802's. There are many who have posted comments about "it's not about wpc but the quality of amp". They were right! I can only imagine the sound coming from those who are running Bryston, Levinson, Class'e or McIntosh at 300 wpc plus. IT MUST THE INCREDIBLE!!!! :B
