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.

I agree with Erik. I have the exact same speakers that you have. I power the front 802D3’s with McIntosh 611 monos when listening to 2 channel. Center and surrounds powered with an older Classe 5300. Sounds great to me!

As I stated earlier, I have McIntosh 611’s and they work well with B&W speakers. The 462 will have the same sonic signature. The 802’s dip down to 3 ohms in the bass region. For that reason I use the 4 ohm taps.

Here we go with the McIntosh hate.  McIntosh is not in favor with this group.  I have B&W’s and McIntosh and they do not sound like mush. I would listen to all and make your decision.  We all hear differently and like different sound signatures. The M10x is very good but is quite a bit more expensive.
