I did not try the MC-275 MK V specifically with B&W speakers, but I was very impressed with it's sonics and build quality during my time with it. Really an excellent gutsy amp for the money, although I did not care for the layout of the amp with cables coming out of both sides.
Best tube amp with B&W 805D?
Looking for some insight and recommendations on tube amp to match with the B&W 805D. Will likely keep my ARC LS17 as preamp for now. I am looking into McIntosh MC275 or Primaluna Dialogue Seven monoblocks. Though would prefer to stay under $4k if possible. Currently running a Bryston 4B SST2, and it is an awesome amp with my previous Maggie 1.7's but is a little too forward and seems to be overkill with the 88db 805d's. My desire is to add depth to the soundstage and move the imaging back just a bit. Any experience or insight would will be much appreciated.
