Polite is not a description I would associate with 802D's. How's the power supply side, dedicated lines, power cords, conditioning?
That said, the bottom end would not necessarily be characterized as quick and tuneful but capable of delivering a healthy dose of weight.
FWIW I like the W4S ST500 with N802's. British Mag Hi Fi Choice did an article on the 802 Diamonds with some new Musical Fidelity amps that put out somewhere around 600-700 watts ea (I don't recall the model number) and were duly impressed.
