Classe or McIntosh

McIntosh for service, and either Mac or Classé depending on your taste. You will have to be patient with Classé if you expect to talk to anyone there for a problem . Took them 3 weeks to return my call once. As for Mac, well, they just seem to care more.

Not to butt in, except i do have two Quicksilver mono-blocs. for sale on this site. I don't know your power requirements,etc., yet it could be a good thing to look and see what you think.

which of 2 is the best to b&w 802d

oranges to apples

Sonicbeauty, I own/have owned several Classé components, and have communicated with their customer service department many times over the years. I have never failed to reach anyone at the factory by phone when I needed to, and have always had someone reply to my e-mail messages in less than 24 hours, and typically within 3-4 hours. I can point you to a number of Classé owners who have nothing but praise for the company's excellent customer service. You can't damn a company by your one negative experience.
