I used to own the 802d and now own the Usher BE-10. Personally, I found the Usher to be more dynamic, transparent, and engaging. The 802d is good but I thought it was slower and warmer, being better suited for jazz. Given your musical tastes, I would prefer the Usher.
As for MAC gear, I am not sure since I have only heard MAC a few times before. Generally speaking, I would be wary of any electronics that takes away from the strengths of the Usher speakers. I found that ss amps and a musical pre to work best with the BE-10.
