@kerrybh if 85 dBs is your typical listening level I believe the 791 will work extremely well for you.
Also consider the dimension of the amplifies - the 861 may not fit easily on your rack based on weight or dimensions.

I've only heard the 761 in stereo, two systems paired with the 791:
I have been impressed by the 761 - detail, finesse and dynamics. Given the price difference between the 761 and 861 and the physical difference I would want to audition 861 in stereo versus 761 in mono.

@kerrybh I used to have a 390 - I think it's a wonderful unit. I was shocked at the difference in sound when I swapped two M400s with for a 860A v2. It's an upgrade in every way even though I went dual amps to a stereo amp. I believe the 761 has similar characteristics with the 761 - I bet you will see a significant improvement. And just like the 860A v2, the 761 is a dual mono amp.. |
