what is the best amp for B&W 802N

I am looking for a Amp to drive my 802N too.
My room size is 18' x 20'.

I am looking at Rotel RB1092 ($2500) + RC1070 ($500)
or
Mc's MA6900 ($5k) buy only 200W.

I select these two because of their small form factor. Do I have to get MC501 to push this speakes for my room size?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Lkj1956!
Iy's been almost 6 months. And I AM very happy with the sound. Transparent Ultra XL speaker cables, and Transparent Super MM interconnects, ML-332, and 802N is an excellent match. If you want to spend $5k, I'd get ML-336, I've seen one very recently. ML-332 is 200W/ch, ML-336, I think 300W/ch. This is what you want for 802N.... POWER.
Good luck, and let me know what you end up getting.

Badam,
Thanks for the reply. My concern is heat and size of the ML. I still need to get a pre-amp. If 200W from the ML332 is good enough for you. I don't think I need to take the Rotel route for 500W. May be the MA6900 will work for me.

The MA6900 is awesome with 802s. I did like the ML334 with them too but MC501 monoblocks beat everything I have ever heard with these speakers and they will remain cool as a cucumber. Guaranteed to last 40 years that way. But yes, the 6900 will have enough power for your room.

Take a hard look at the Sunfire Signature. I ran N802's with them and they were the best amps I had on them in your price range, and bettered several more expensive amps as well...there's one listed right now for $1800
