I noticed when I demo's the B&W 802's V2 power by the two Mcintosh monoblocks 601's, the power output meter on the amps is bareley reaching 60 watts and was pretty damn loud in the room. I Also heard the 802's power by MC452, the 601's sounds more dynamic than the MC452 on the same volume setting on the Preamp control.
I'm waiting for my local Dealer to call me when the 803's arrives, the sales manager stated he is going to use a pair of McIntosh 601 to power them as store demo...I Can't wait...
