I've heard the 2102 -- sounded great. Here's a suggestion: If I were you, I would consider buying two of them and using them as 200 watt monoblocks. The N802's will need some major juice to get them singing
and the 2102's used as monos would do the trick.

I have a McIntosh MC-352 which I use with Vandersteens.At a dealer I heard it with the speakers you have,and it sounded wonderful.Currently some on sale on the Gon at good prices.Another choice is the McIntosh MC-501 monos if you feel you need more power.

Try one MC-352. If it still isn't enough juice, monoblock the first one, and buy another. MC-352s can be had for about $2,500-$2,700 and double for a monoblocked set.
Much better than the 501s, IMO.

Might want to call Frank Gow at Audio Classics in Vestal New York ... 607-766-3501 ... if you do not recognize the name, he is the son of one of the founders of McIntosh.
