I've heard it said many times that the 802Ds are power hungry. Why would that be given that they are very efficient speakers?
The reason I ask is that in my own recent experience upgrading from an Anthem MCA 50 driving 5 speakers, including the 802Ds, to a Mac 402 dedicated to the 802Ds there was a big difference. It opened up the sound stage impressively. I do not know, however, if this is the result of having the Mac quality/sound or the fact that the Mac provides a lot more power to the 802Ds than the Anthem (which is rated at 225 wpc) could do given that it was driving five speakers.
Thanks for any thoughts.
