Favorite big power Mac?

I think it's simply a function of practicality. An MC2600 pushes the envelope of what a single 20A circuit is capable of with the PG lamps flashing 20% of the time (that's when you know you're having fun). As the MC602 is capable of 50% more output current per channel (150A/ch vs 100A/ch), it's likely not even possible with a difficult load.

Sure, most folks that buy these amps run them at maybe 6wpc on peaks so that's not really an issue. But for the guy that wants to run a pair of difficult to drive speakers at reference levels, it's simply not practical to have a Class A/B stereo amplifier of such size and capability for residential use. Splitting the channels on two different chassis with power cords makes a lot of sense.

But, that's not me. If I want more power, I'll just double up on amps (that's what I do actually). So, I'm with the OP - bring on the MC802! I'm OK if it's got two AC cords.
