Amp for my B&W 802D3s and HTM2D3


So I have a NAD M28 that is in for repair. Not totally happy with musicality of it. Have a Lyngdorf MP-40 preamp. Would upgrading to a Krell Chorus 5200 XD be a big upgrade in musicality? Any recommendations? have a REL 212/SE subwoofer.

Sanders Magtech!

AVA has a December special!

Odyssey top of the line amps made to order.

McCormack (SMC audio) still makes amps, but are for the top %2 of purchasers, but it is some of the best gear available. 
 

those speakers need some sack, so make sure you get 250+W rms ,  none of this 2-10 W stuff, will be anorexic to your ears, and clip at every kick drum , guitar solo, crescendo  

 

if your only into jazz, light rock, at low med volumes, then the ferret fart amps may be for you  

I love audio hunting, shopping, when I bring in my Sunfire sig 600, they sometimes don’t want to hook her up, she will embarrass most of what they have in their store, minus some of the mega stuff, macs, Krell, etc, but the class H Sunfire, does sound better than the biggies in some spots.

 

get enough power , or you will be disappointed

i have Energy speakers rated at 250W max, and use DNA-750 monos at 600-650W at 8 Ohms

I love headroom, the ultimate non fatiguing, effortless music.

the airy and uninterrupted program!!! I have not clipped an amp since I went to 600W rms @ 8 Ohm from Sunfire and the DNA-750s’ and also the Emotiva XPA-1 monos at 500W at 8 Ohm. Even my short lived rotel rb-1090 never clipped that was a wicked sounding amp, had amazing bass 380 at 8 720W at 4 and stable below that.

 

all my other amps and receivers clipped below 250W rms, all of them !

 

never again will i use any amp lower than 500W rms. You need the headroom to easily give the power needed when asked to do so. even if you think its not clipping, most amps playing music at certain frequencies are strained by having less than the power needed for program music.

 

power!

1 magtech is 500W rms at 8 ohm and 900W at 4 Ohm, more if your house supplied enough power for the amp, say a 240 line.

 

 the magtech is one helluva amplifier, you may need only 1.

Roger has a 30 day in home trial, if you don't like it, send back, im sure you will be more than satisfied with the power this amp will throw.

 

 

Roger has monoblocks also.

Magtech Monos.

1600W rms at 8 Ohm  2000W rms at 4 ohm. and if you have enough electricity in your house, it is stable to 1 Ohm.

 

That 2 channel amp is a beast.
