Hi, I used to have 802N with a Rotel 1095 and a Rotel 1098 pre. In my opinion they were a good match. However I sold them, because I moved the HT to a smaller room. Now I am using a Proceed AVP with a Musical Fidelty HT600, Bastanis speakers and two Sunfire Junior Subs. In my opinon this setup sounds more livelike. But I have to say, that it could well be the room that makes the difference, since it is better suited for listening in a audiophile way if that is possible in a HT setup than my old room.
Hope you are enjoying your system.
