I have four B&W 801's, two 603's and a B&W center


speaker. I'm looking for suggestions on amps to run these. Have looked at the Mac mc207 and mx 136 but they only output 100 watts per channel. Any suggestions?

I have a mac with 100 watts and it is true to its rating. To realize any noticeable gains in volume, you will need to massively increase power. Going to 200 watts will only gain you 3db,going to 400 watts will get you 6db. Yes, you can get 500 watt mac monoblocks at a massive price.

With that said, get a really good sub. Even by setting the crossover at 40hz, it will dramatically increase the power available to the speakers. Much cheaper fix and way more effective.
