Grasshopper.......Before you get too excited about 800 watts in bridged mode from the MC402 you may want to stare at my MC601 power meter for a second. On peak hold my MC601's were knocking on the door of 1.2kw output without a hint of the Power Guard lamps flickering, with more power still on tap. The MC601's exceed 800 watts without any problem. A pair of them would make those B&W 800 Signatures stand up and take notice. .
