    seeking a solid pairing with the 802D

    HI,

    I have a pair of 802D using in a HT setup with 805d and HTM 2D
    The latter 3 are powered by a bryston 5 channel.
    the rotel 400w i was using with the 802d has begun to show issues and where i live it can’t be repaired.
    i am seeking a new amplifier for the 802d which must weigh under 30kg shipping weight to be checked into a flight.
    i would very much like to buy new and be under $4000 if possible.
    95% of my use is home theatre.
    grateful for ann suggestions of what is readily available as i need it delivered to me in los angeles in a week from today.
    open to mono blocks if they fit in the range.
    i was checking out the peachtree carina 300….
    thanks ever so much for any comments / suggestions.

    Would you entertain Class D amplifiers? NCore and Purifi would both be quite light, and could be monoblocks if you preferred.

      There are a number of smaller vendors offering solutions with these modules. Question is, how many channels do you need? I was going to suggest an NAD solution using PuriFi modules, but it's 7 channel, and a bit out side your price target.

        Seeking HTM1D Advice
        by RebelMan
        After I replaced my 803S I found the HTM3S unbearable to listen to along side the towering Marlan headed 800D so I was forced to sell it. I desperately wanted to keep it but no amount of tweaking could appreciably circumvent the prevailing tonal smearing across the obverse sound field.

        So what are people drooling over most? Hypex or Purifi?
        by Hdale85
        I may build one of these at some point, kind of curios is the Purifi stuff that much better? Hypex doesn't have their nCore modules anymore, but they do have the Nilai I think it's called which from what I understand is based on nCore. A while back I wanted to build a Hypex amp based on the UCD180 or...

        My thoughts on 802D with Classe M400
        by xk8boy
        Okay guys,

        I’ve been demo’ing the Classe’s M400 with my 802D. My intention is to provide some feedbacks to those interested. I searched the web and couldn’t find any satisfactory comments about the pairing of these two. If there're questions, I’ll try my...

        How good are B&W 802D speakers
        by WhyMe
        I'm seeking to upgrade my 2ch system. I love how 802D looks (I really think that 802D has the best looking cabinet in its price range.) But how would you guys rate its sound reproduction quality. I am looking to buy speakers that can do a large orchestra and live recording well.
