Was auditioning the 805d3 and 804d3 driven by Mac. Sounds good but after reading this and other threads about how good the new 803 and 802 are, I will definitely go back and audition them.

A quick update. Today, I spent a wonderful 3 hours auditioning the 802d3 and 803d3 and HTM1 D3 at a local dealer. The L/R were driven by MC611s, and the Center with MC452. The AV process was McIntosh. The Blu-Ray was Oppo 205. I believe the cables were cardas.
From Jazz to Classical, the music flowed beautifully, the soundstage is incredible.
At the end, I put in an order for 802d3 and HTM1. Can’t wait to bring them into my living room! Next steps are the amplifiers. The MC611s seem to pair well with the 802. I currently have the Bryston 9B ST, and may want to look also at the new Bryston cube.
