High End Integrated Choices

I had posted earlier but haven't seen it so here goes again.

Need to make a shortlist of hi-end integrateds to match the following system:

Sony SCD777ES SACD Player, Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref II Interconnects and Satori Speaker cable connected to B&W 805S monitors.

Searching for feedback specifically on BAT V300X SE Integrated withe 6H30 super tube and McIntosh MC2275 Tube Integrated.

Anyone?

Thanks

I used N805 with Gryphon Tabu AT amps with great results.

You must go tubes with B&W. Best I've heard with my Sig 805s so far has been Audiomat's Opera.

But I'd love to try Einstein's Absolute Tune...

You will have zero problem driving 805's with the Mac. If you ever have any doubts about amp to speaker, look at the tranformer. If it's heavy, it will work. If it's not, it won't. Usually it's multiply by 3 to compare tube watts and solid state, but I have never heard of any probs with the 2275 driving anything. Ever.

How about Manley Stingray, Biomimetic? You think that will drive the 805S easily,. Have the chance to pick one up used (as a second amp) at a good price so just thought I'd check.
