Not sure if the 802s will work in the big(ger) room and I really want to stick to McIntosh... so I was thinking to (maybe) upgrade to the 800ds (D2s though - still can‘t warm up for the D3s). Any experience on running the 800D2s with the 452... will it do the job or is it necessary to go with the 601 Monos... ? Also - as I really really like the 452... any suggestions on alternative pairing to give a listen/try for big rooms and large scale listening sessions... maybe the extra money be better invested into speakers only and stick with the fabulous 452...
... be happy to hear your thoughts (and yes - room will have full acoustical treatment [emoji6][emoji1308])...

My 452 is driving a pair of B&W 801's and have no problem at all doing that. 800 D2's should be similar in requirement for power.
