Amplifiers for B&W 803D/802D
That room is much smaller than mine. I'm 19 feet by 33 feet. In that size room you may be fine with a good 200 watts per channel. B&W reccomends 250 watts or atleast thats what they told me as a minimum for the 803d but I'm sure they won't try...

Anyone heard about the new Mcintosh MC2301's?

Amplifiers for B&W 803D/802D
My personal opinion is that isn't enough juice to really do the job on the 803D. I reccomend at-least 250 watts per channel but you're close and some amps seem to be stronger than advertised. I'm not familiar with accuphase. If I only had 180 watt... 
Anyone heard about the new Mcintosh MC2301's?
Man, Tropicaldiver, that sounds like a great setup. I will let you know how the c500t pairs with the 2301's. I hope to hook up on friday, my racks shipped today and due in on thursday. Still waiting on some of my shunyata power stuff but I can sta... 
McIntosh C1000P
I've never heard the SS version but if you like ss all the way, I don't think you can go wrong. I'm one who likes to use ss amps and tube pre amps. Although I'm going to try pretty much all tubes now with the c500t and mc2301's which are mostly tu... 
Whats the best $1000 speakers
That is a good size room, I was going to reccomend the B&W 805S but don't know how they would do in that size room. They would do very well with your music though, I think the b&w is one of the best for female vocals, that is where I call ... 
Whats the best $1000 speakers
joeygrace321, I think its important before suggesting a speaker here that we know how big the room is and maybe the type of music you listen to. This will play a big part of the speaker and integrated, happy huntingbeerdraft 
What power conditioner to use with Bel Canto Amps?
Jreerunn40, I don't have that amp but if you've got a shunyata dealer near by, I say try it. I think they allow amps to really focus on the entire frequency range and not emphasize certain frequency. IMO, I would invest in any other power than shu... 
Anyone heard about the new Mcintosh MC2301's?
What else do you have in your system Tropicaldiver? I have mine now but won't be ready to hook them up til next week, maybe in ten days or so will have hooked up all the new stuff.beerdraft 
Speaker cable suggestion for new system
Start with power cords at the source and then your integrated. I reccomend looking for some shunyata power cords, integrated diamond back maybe, and the cdp maybe an old taipin or something. What is your budget? This should give you much more than... 
Opinions on the Mcintosh C500T?
Thats very good to hear. I've never owned mc stuff til recently so I am just worried. From the sound of what you described, I'm going to love it. Knopfler is the best... My power should be done tomorrow and then waiting on stands, Hope to be liste...

Atlanta, Ga.
