After a long search for a power amplifier to drive my 803's, I've found their perfect match. Just hooked up a new McIntosh MC-402, and all I can say is "Wow," this thing makes my B&W's sing! Never knew music in my living room could sound this good. Now I know what B&W/Mac enthusiasts have been raving about. I think I may be truly happy-- all I need now is a pair of 801's! :T

I'm also very happy with my 703's and a McIntosh MA6500 integrated amp.
Also check out the brand new MCD201 CD player, it even has a high-quality pre-amp/headphone-amp inside

I drive a 802 with a mc602 and my father a 800 with two mc501: I can only say: Perfect to our ears (compared to ML/Classé/Rotel/Conrad Johnson).

Hello! was at my local hifistore and listning to the 803d hooked up with the integrated amp cap2100 from classe.Must say i was impressed by the sound.But i m wondering if anybody on this forum have tried the mcintosh ma6900 with the 803d?Have heard mcintosh ma6900 many times on different speakers but never on B&Wspeakers.I really prefer the lokk of mcintosh ma6900 over classe,so if the amp sounds great with 803d i think that must be the system to go for in my living room.Comment

Today I picked up a few Wes Montgomery cds. For those of you dont know, Wes Montgomery is a phenomenal jazz guitarist from the 1960's.

As I mentioned recently in another post I'm putting together a new DAW (well, actually it will be used for more than that, but the DAW aspect is a big part of the configuration choice, particularly as regards storage and connectivity).
