Does Mcintosh MC75 drive B&W 802D well?

B&W 802D sensitivity is 90db. Manufacturer recommended amp power range is 50-500. A 75 watt per channel tube amp will not bring out the best in that speaker.

If the speaker posses a relatively flat impedence curve and doesn't drop below 4 ohms then you should be fine. Of course it still depends on room size, type of music and how loud you play it.

I don't think it proves enough juice. The tonal propeties are probably fine...rolled off highs, but those speakers need more power

I agree: not enough power. I own MC275 with B&W 804S, a much smaller speaker, and the combination is very good. I know of people using MC275 as mono amps to drive 802D and claim to have very good results, but 75W I guess wouldn't be enough.

Unless of course you look at it as an intermediate step until you get a larger amp.
Can you audition the combination?
