Hello. I am looking for a good integrated to match my B&W 804s. I am leaning heavily towards a used Musical Fidelity a5.5 Integrated or maybe a McIntosh Integrated. Any suggestions/experience with this match?
I hear alot about power with the B&W's but run my 802d just fine with a Cary Cinema 7B 100W/channel. I also use a Krell 400Xi with 200w but the cary is smoother and can carry them for reasonable levels.
I own a pair of the B&W 804S and I've listened to them with a wide variety of amps. IMHO, they sound their best with Krell - I own an S-300i - and Accuphase. A used Accuphase E-350 would be a great option for listening to jazz. I hope this helps.
For those who have heard both the MF A5.5 & the A308, how do they compare to each other? Aside from the overall consensus that the A308 is built from higher quality parts, preference seems to be a mixed bag.
Boy, do I pine for the opportunity to audition each!
