B&W N802: Which amp??

I just purchased a pair of N802 and I was planning on buying a Pass X250 from a friend but he decided to keep it. So now I'm trying to decide between an Pass X250.5 and a McIntosh MC402. Any thoughts?? Maxc85  (Threads | This Thread) 01-28-12

Click title to read one, or click date to read all below it. 02-20-12: Zephyr24069 Not wanting to start any religious battles over amplification however if your choice is constrained to those 2 I would choose the MC402 given life-like and organic nature of the sound and many other likeable qualities. You may also wish to consider Classe M400 monos or their latest stereo amps as they make a particularly good pairing with the N802s (and other B&Ws as well)...I don't know your price point or your music listening prefs so sharing a bit more info may help you...
