Is MF 550k good enough amp for B&W 802D ?

Hi There !

Im Planning to upgrade my speaker anthony gallo 3.1 to B&W 802D but i am not yet ready to upgrade my pre / power amp coz i just recently upgraded my Gyrodeck to Orbe w SME V tonearm & cadenza black cart & vtl 5.5 to ear 868 preamp.

Do u think Musical Fidelity 550k monoblocks will drive the 802D ? or better yet forget d upgrade unless i can afford the Classe or Macintosh AMPS.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

I have B&W 802D Great speakers, indeed. I own them and enjoy immensely! Be aware that they are extremely power hundgry and also as Audiofreak said a bit aggressive at the top. I tried a number of amplifiers until I settled on Spectron. Note, you don;t have to buy everything at once.

All The Best
