Hey Guys,
Just curious if anyone has heard or has any opinions on the 7500/7700 driving B&W 800 series speakers - 803S or 804S, in particular.

The home theatre stores in my area almost always have them run by McIntosh amps, and I'm quite pleased with that sound - though I can't really afford to buy both the speakers and an amp that expensive.

I did a search on the forum and only found an instance of a 755 driving some 804S - according to the reviewer: "I will say this: The 804's sounded better on the Mark Levinson amp and sunfire processor in the showroom. The sound was much cleaner."

According to an Outlaw support person, when asked this question, he responded:
"As well as I believed the 770/755 amplifiers drove the 800 series, the 7500 is simply that much better. It's quieter and more dynamic and quite frankly it really shows on speakers like the the 804s... the Model 990/7500 combo is head and shoulders above the 950/755."

Just curious to hear of your opinions and experiences.

Thanks guys,
kgt
