    Amp For 802d

    I am using a Mac 402 for my fronts and biamping a Mac 207 for my rears 803D and front HTM1D my question is If I add 3 Mac 501s for the L&R and Center and run the 402 for the rear 803D is it going to be that much different? I mean they sound super sweet now and my room is 14x18

    Thanks,

    Drexel

      From what I've read, but not from hearing on my own, the 501s are definitely better and is a noticeable upgrade from the 402s.

      If you can, get them and try them out. I would bet you'd like the difference.
      Digital Audio makes me Happy.

              803D Question
              by tah
              New guy here, long time B&W believer, so hello to everyone....

              Just picked up a new rig and am a combination of confused and disappointed.

              Got the Mcintosh MC 402 with the C46 Preamp. Hooked up the 803D's on the 8 ohm taps, bi-wired with high quality Monster Cable....

              New 803D...WOW
              by jonnyz
              well, I started off looking at 805s then went to a used pair of N803 and today brought home a pair of 803D Rosenut.

              Stunning! even in my mostly empty, no carpet(yet) condo running off my Rotel 1095/1055 combo.

              The shop had them hooked up to a Mac 402 and c220 tube pre...

              802D + Mac 402 connect @ 4 ohm?
              by jack d
              Hey. I've got 802Ds, HTM1D, and 804Ss for surround. I've currently got an Anthem MCA 50 driving the system but am testing a Mac 402 right now for the fronts. I've attached the speaker cables to the 8 ohm posts but I wonder if I should/could attach them to the 4 ohm posts since the 802D specs say the...

              Which cables for Mac/B&W system?
              by Antonkk
              I'm sure there are a lot of Mac and B&W owners over here. My set up will most likely be Mac 301-46-402 with B&W 802D or if the finances allow 301-500(solid state version)-501 with 802D. What cables should I use through out? Right now the only decent cables that I have is a pair of Shunyata Pythons...
