Nad with 802d

[melantone]

Anyone have experienced this couplement? (It would be a great bargain....!).

Which NAD? I heard a NAD S300 with 802D and found them to go well together although the amp could use more power. Compared with a Classe CA3200 I felt that the Classé had more grunt and control at low frequencies.

I was thinking of c270 power Amplifier: but you're confirming what people said about 'dull' lows. Did you hear ROtel 1080, remaining in a budget frame?

Hi

I have the 802Ds and drive them with a Krell FPB-300cx, I still do have in my posession a RB-1080.

I used this amp to drive a pair of N804s a few years ago, but I moved to the Krell as part of my upgrade plan.

I could not imagine that the RB-1080 would do justice to the 802Ds.

But I can test it for you if you are really interested!

Cheers,
Keith

Hi melantone,

I'm an RB-1080 owner. I also dream about owning 802D speakers one day.

I wouldn't think about powering 802D speakers with an RB-1080, not because it's a Rotel, but because it's not powerful enough to drive the 802D at high volume without distortion.

However I would consider powering 802D speakers with an RB-1090 or an RB-1092.

"more grunt"???

Not the best choice of word, I agree . Should read "weight" .

Now I'm powering 802d with an Accuphase e303, and peak meters don't go further 20-30 watts (40-60 on 4 ohms). So I think it is not a 'pressure' problemsolving, but a bass tightness and definition on high levels on orchestral pienos.
So Rotel would be sufficient: it is a timbric and definition matter (tightness and power being satisfied).

I should be able to play with it next weekend, I'll post the results for you after I do it, and perhaps a few pics.
