I owned the MA2275 and then switched to the combination of MC402 and C46 while using B&w 802D's. With the 802D's liking lots of power, I could run the MA2275 out of power if pushed, but sonically I would say the MA2275 sounded better overall to me. Unfortunately the 802D's never sounded great in my room with either.
A friend has Mac tube mono blocks and a 402 and prefers the mono blocks.
The MA2275 is a nice piece, don't be hasty. It is my understanding there is even more performance there with some tube rolling, I never did any rolling.
