Is this a 2.0 system or 5.0 systems? It mentions movies but not sure if you need dolby decoding or not. |

My point is, there are many paths to achieve your goal. Your goal is just that... YOURS. Use other’s experience along with your own to create that goal and determine the path to make it happen. Above all have fun along the way.

On a side note, I visited the B&W showroom when they were showcasing 803D3 with Classe amps. Can't remember the model but the sound was glorious and in-your-face. Literally feels like the jazz band was playing just in front of you. Last week when I visited there again, they were running on the new crème de la crème Michi amps but somehow the sound feels muted, not as "open" as Classe. Maybe one desperate way to describe is like having a band playing in front of you but with a thin curtain in between. |

I have the 803d3 for about 3 years now. Using the yamaha CX-A5100 pre and powered by Emotiva XPA2 gen 2 this was ok. I then upgraded to a Emotiva XPA-DR2 and this was a mistake as it was lousy.
A few months ago I eventually got my MC462 and boy did this make a difference took the speakers to whole new level. Eventually I am going to get the C2700 so I can a dedicated 2 channel system. I don’t believe you will get the best out of the speakers with an AV receiver simply not enough power. But you can always go ahead for now and then upgrade slowly along the way. You will definitely need a more powerful amp. |

Sorry for the noob question. If I save up for MC601, I would need two of these to power each speaker? Considering each costs about US$10k! Is there a single, mid-range amp that is able to do a decent job? |
