You should look into Hegel as well. I used to be a B&W owner, now Harbeth. Looked at integrateds for about two years and nothing came close to the Hegel H200 in my system. I found the Luxman 505u and the top of the line Marantz to be lacking. It's worth looking into. Lots of reviews out there on the Hegel H200 and H300.
MC501 or MC601 or something else for B&W 802N?
I would like to feed these power hungry speakers with proper amplification. Any thoughts on the best mating MAC amps or another company?
