B&W 802D -- Classe' CA-5200 vs. Rotel RMB 1095?

Need quick input. THe question is whether getting a 5200 at $5k vs. getting a 1095 at $1.5k is a choice that will deliver "years of happiness" with improvements in the the speakers at all volume levels. HT system includes DS8s for surround and HTM4 for center. Thanks.

The answer is still the same as in your other thread, the Classe is a better amp no matter how many times you ask.

Thanks. Sorry for the redundancy, just trying to get fast input as I must decide quickly. Big difference in $$, but I expect I willt ake the plunge. Why stop now?

Briefly used Rotel for whole system. 5200 would replace this. Next step after this monoblocks? Not this week

Classe is a better amp and will sound better. Only you can decide if the price difference is worth it. I don't know the retail of the 802D's but, I know they are not cheap. IMO, I don't think you will be doing them justice by going with the Rotel.
