I love the big chassis Mac looks so a single 611 might be the odd man out with a pair of 1.25s and a pair of 303s.
I currently drive my 802D3 with MC611s, and HTM1 D3 and the 2 SCMs surround with the Bryston 9BST (rated 150W per channel). My plan is to replace the Bryston with MC303 for the Center and surround. My 5.1 set up is for movies so I think that is ok to have "mismatched" amplifiers to drive the L/C/R. For 2 channel music, IMHO the MC611s are perfect to drive the 802D3.
