First impressions on the 802d's is that the krell kav 2250 (2x250w) is more than enough. In fact just taking the banana plugs out of the 804S's and plugging in to the 802d's the same amount of output to drive the 804s' at 75decibels drove the 802ds to 78 so I needed to "cut" the current quite a bit. The htm2d is an imporvement over the htm3s as it has a great midrange, more resonance and the detail out of the diamond Tweeter is remarkable.
My wife walked in the room and was a bit shocked at the size of them. (uh humm, They didn't cost too much honey, I got a deal) Immediately my son whose 20 put on The landing scene in Private Ryan and the house trembled with every explosion. I had to duck as the bullets were flying from everywhere with the 804s' taking up surround duty. The ASW825 was pushed down to 50hz which will probably only come in to play in HT sequences that are demanding. All the speakers are set to large as the HTM2D is no kitten. I wonder what the need could be for a Sub when the 802D's rock the house ?
Listening to Ben Harper, Norah Jones and Bob Marley is incredible. The guitar in Ben Harper has such incredible detail, the diamond tweeters are so precise. !!
