If I was you I’d totally audition the new Atma-Sphere GaN amp for your 802D3s. I’ve got a lotta experience with the 80?D3s and know their sound character well, and if I owned them I’d RUN to hear this amp with them. MacIntosh? Only if you want your speakers to sound like warm mush. I worked for Magnolia and heard B&W with Mac ad-nauseam and no, just no. Do a trial with Ralph’s new GaN amp and I bet there’s no looking back. When he listens to his own system with this amp over his own OTL tube amps, well, that says a crap ton to me. Best of luck.
