Pass, Mac, or Anthem


Currently have HT system but used extensively for 2channel. Mains are B&W 803D. Using Anthem D2 and A5 for electronics. Would like to add a 2ch amp, later a preamp. The 803D is a bit of a difficult load so was thinking about the Pass 350, Mac 402, or Anthem P2. Anyone have any experience or recommendations? Any other SS amp that I should consider for these speakers? Thanks.

I use the 402 for 803S's. Listened to it drive the 803D's and the 802D's - plenty of power for both versions of the 803's and just shy of plenty of power to drive the 802D to its max spl. More importantly, in comparison with a Classe, the 402 sounded a lot better. Listened to the Anthem P2 driving pardigm signatures - wasn't impressed. But not the same speaker.
