Hi All,
I know this has been talked about off and on but I was wondering what some of your thoughts are about choosing a power and pre amp setup from one of these companies.
I just received my new beloved 802D's and am looking to upgrade my amps which are currently the Rotel 1095/68 combo. My setup is going towards 50/50 HT and 2ch listening. I am a huge Spectral Audio fan but fear they may not be the perfect match for my 802D's (based on the assumption that I want the system to be HT and 2 channel) so I have started looking at monoblocks from Mac (the 501's) and Classe (the CA-M400'S) and a pre amp processor from one of the two.
I just listened to a full Classe setup last night...CA-2200/CP-500/CD-100 which was really nice. Classe has done a really nice job on their new Delta Line.
Having said that has anyone tried the Classe monoblocks vs Mac 501's? What do people think of the LCD feature on the Classe? I want to keep my new setup for a while and am curious whether or not the LCD is a good thing to invest in?
In terms of Mac I have heard the 402 but not the 501's. Any comments on these?
Finally has anyone heard both setups with the 802D's.
Love to hear your comments.
