Well after awhile of indecisiveness I finally placed my order. It came down to MC501's or CA-M400's. Next week my 802D's will be singing a new song. I am upgrading from a Krell KAV-2250 and my pre\pro is a Krell HTS 7.1. Now I hope this is a worthy upgrade? Despite not being able to demo the 501's in house I think I will be very happy with my decision. Although I must adnmit sometimes a little voice is trying to say I should of gone the Classe route. Well I hope that voice is wrong.

Excellent!
Please tell us your thoughts once you've had some time to get used to your new amp and the differences between it and the Kav-2250.
Enjoy :T -
Amarkus,
All amps sound the same. You won't hear any change at all. :lol:
Actually, like Sahdow, I am curious to hear your thoughts about the upgrade once you get everything tuned in. I have the Kav-250a amps which are very similar to your Kav-2250.
Regards,

I a/b/c'd nuforce ref9, BAT VK250 and Classe ca-3200. the ref9 was not even in the same league.
the other two were quite good, but had completely different characteristics. The BAT was darker, but lacked in bass. The classe was more natural, had good bass, and I could use the CANBUS features along with my ssp600.
overall, they were quite different, but would come down to personal taste which was better.I'm just sittin here watchin the wheels go round and round...Comment

I've got the same set up and I think you will love the combination. Make sure to try your 501s on the 8 ohm and 4 ohm taps. To me there is no comparison: 4 ohm is way better.Comment

I don't know if this is going to sound totally nuts but here goes:
I just recently upgraded to three MC501s for my 802Ds and HTM1D. I was driving the 802Ds with an MC402 which I now use with my rear 804S speakers. I'm extremelly happy with the sound improvement up front compared to the... -
Hey guys,
I've got the following set up:
L/R: 802Ds
CNT: HTM1D
Rear: 804S
SW: SVS PB-12 Ultra/2
I have a Meridian G68 processor and the system is driven by 3 MC501s and an MC402.
I'm trying to dial in the SW/bass and I'm not sure how to... -
Well, I finally did it, pulled the trigger on the 1066/1075 in Silver. My dealer should have it in a week. I'm moving to seperates, WooHoo! Here's my question. I was underwhelmed by the remote on the display unit I was looking at. It just didn't feel "right", to me. I was also playing with... -
I'm slowly building up my surround setup and I'm trying to decide whether to go with 802Ds on the rear channels (I currently have 2 already) for the purpose of matching the sound for surround, or moving the 802Ds I have to the real channels and purchasing 800Ds for the front L/R channels. I plan on... -
Hi all. I currently have a B&W CM setup, but the local dealer is offering me a pretty great opportunity to upgrade. He is willing to let me trade-in any or all of my gear at the same cost that I paid for it and put the money toward a new system. However, I only have until May (when I have to move...
