804 d3 amplification

whats the best amp/integrated amp to drive 804d3’s ?
would MAC 7200 be a good choice ? does it have enough juice ?
I've heard b&w's are hungry for power.

Here I go again. Get a BAT VK-300SE fitted with NOS 6H30 "DR" tubes. Shouldn't cost more than 4-5k total. My 804 D3s delivered yesterday. I'm listening to this combination as I type (BAT & B&W).
Don't sound bad for day 2. Try getting the BAT with a serial number whose last three digits are 400 or greater. These are less that 10 years old.

"... McIntosh described as bright".

First time I see McIntosh and bright mentioned in the same sentence. If anything, McIntosh piece could be too warm which I don't think will be the case with the 804d that is known to be a bit hot in higher octaves, depending on the room.
