I listen mostly to Jazz music, and the MC611s drive the 802D3 effortlessly, and with excellent soundstage and presence. I previously used and still own the excellent Bryston 9B, but the MC611 is in a different league.

If you are interested in the D3 series, I highly recommend you audition them with either MC611 or MC452 (now MC462).
Did you get the opportunity to test the 7B3 in comparison to the MC611's?
