Benfmd,
I have heard the 802D's driven by a $500 Denon (110 watt) receiver...they sound fantastic. I am pretty sure your Mac will drive them beautifully. But, why not take your Mac down to the B&W dealer and ask him to hook you up. Don't forget to take some CD's to listen to.
After you get the N802D's, one thing that you might want to try, is adding a "Purist Audio Venustas AC Power with Ferox" cord to the Mac. When we put one on the Denon it sounded like it doubled the power output. It had deeper tighter bass, smoother mids, and the highs were thrilling.
Hope this helps.
