Trying to find an amp to MATCH well with MBL 101D's. Room size is 18'x 22' x 9' and primarily listem to jazz, vocals and some new age. Desire resolution, dynamics without grain, edge or top end brightness.
Another vote for Mcintosh. I have a MC352 to drive the B&W 803 and pretty happy with it. The bigger brother 402 or 501 will be at least as good as the 352.
Nice review of the Mac 501 in this month's Stereophile - at $8,200 a pair, the reviewer says they're steal (compares them favorably to the $27,000 Halcros). For the kind of money you're talking about, test them with your type of speakers.
why not try the Clayton S2000 or M2000? The Claytons have a reputation for richness, fullness, detail without treble edge. they also have great power and current delivery, doubling down into lower impedances (unlike the McIntosh which is a constant 500W power into 8, 4 and 2 ohms).
