MC501 or MC601 or something else for B&W 802N?

The Hegel has been on my radar. Also the Modwright integrated. I think I will try the Behringer biamping first. I KNOW this is not the right forum to preach the virtues of a cheap Chinese proamp but they really are fantastic to my ears. I use them with the Maggies and no other amp has revealed the level of nuance/texture on my 1.7s as the ep4000. I have had "moments" where emotion overcomes me. I will keep this thread updated with my findings.

I really don't have a problem with the tweeter right now. My 805N were pretty strong but I don't know why the 802N tweeter is not as upfront. In fact, I am missing a bit of midrange energy in comparison. However, the midrange clarity has improved with the three way.

I'm really considering using pro amps to biamp or going $$$$ mono blocks.

Zd542 - from a thread from last year I mentioned liking the EP4000:

Since that time I have tried a few nice amps - Luxman 505U, MF A5, Arcam AV600, Mac6700, Exposure 2010s2, Bryston 2b, Naim Nait ii. All of them have been good or great but honestly I really like the sound of the Behringers. Noting has made my Maggie 1.7s sing at all like the Behringer.

Now I have two of them so I would be using one amp per 802N, removing the jumpers and amping each channel with it's own gain control.

In my experience, the poor image of Behringer has not been reflective of their performance. Then there's this dbt: http://www.matrixhifi.com/ENG_contenedor_ppec.htm
