McIntosh and Autoformers. . .?

What is an Autoformer, and what kind of difference will it make to the sound? I heard some B&W 803's the other day with the McIntosh 402, and it sounded absolutely unreal! I was so impressed, I am thinking of dumping my current SET gear, and going with McIntosh and B&W's.

A freidn tells me that I only want the new McIntosh stuff with the Autoformers. I don't know why. Will the 202 have similar sonic characteristics to the 402? What about the 6900?

Thanks!

I´m using a Bryston 3B (100 Watts) amp and a Bryston .5 B preamp with Canton(4omhs) speakers (2 satellites or center channels (CM4), they say you can use theam as a front speakers and one Active subwoofer (AS4)). Now a friend is selling me a Threshold S300 (II Series) with a FET 10hl or a McIntosh MC2205 with a McIntosh C29, I can´t hear them together but someone can tell me their experience with this combinations for the Canton speakers, witch one is better upgrade to change the Brystons.

Thanks,

Juan
