Czapp,
I A/B'd the 802's with my Proceed bpa (125 watts) and a McIntosh MC352 (350 watts). Big Difference! Soundstage is much larger w/ the McIntosh but the biggest difference is how the McIntosh took control of the bass. The Proceed sounded OK at first but after listening to the MC352 the bpa sounded flabby (bass, but out of control and boomy). The McIntosh controlled the speakers and let them do what they do! The warmth and control of this amp was an ear opener! Good luck.
