I'm currently running a Classe 2300 (300W per channel) and haven't had a situation where either the amp or the speakers were breathing hard. I went from a Brystion 9Bsst (150W into 5 channels) to the Classe, and while the Bryston was no slouch, I thought the 802d3s really benefited from the extra headroom of the Classe's. I'm currently auditioning the Benchmark AHB2 and doing a lot of A/B eval between stereo mode (100W/channel) and bridged mode (300W+ into a single channel). Too early to draw any conclusions, but it reenforces for me how revealing the 80xd3's really are, and how effortless they are with the right electronics upstream. |

Congrats on the purchase!
Did you audition other speakers before the purchase? |

I did. I auditioned Focal Sopra 2 and 3's. B&W 802D3's. Also Revel Ultima 2's. My favourite for the price are the 803D3's. If I had more money to spend then I am not sure as I really liked the Sopra 3's.

I have 802 Diamonds and the McIntosh gear is a perfect combo for it. I have owned Classe, Emotiva, Bryston, etc. in the past but prefer the McIntosh gear over the others. McIntosh and B&W is a match made in heaven to my ears. Plus the build quality of Mac gear is like no other!

Focals and Triangles never rocked my boat. Have never heard wilsons which is strange. Must reiterate - prima luna and BWs 800 series is really really good. |

Okay I am going to ask a very stupid question but how am I supposed to hook up biwire speaker cables with four banana ends to my Krell amp that has only one red and black terminal to each channel? I presume that I cannot and that I have to change out the ends to spades where they will connect to the amp. I know stupid question.
