Sounds great, I'm sure you'd love it. You may want to visit AudioAficionado.org and see if they can talk you into the new MC601 amp which everyone there can't say enough about....... be forewarned these guys are macfanatics LOL
Judging from the performance of Mac 402s with matching pre amp on my friends Sasha I think there are better choices. My MF NuVista integrated bested the Macs by a good margin. I would look at CJ, AR, Pass, Audia in that price range.
I checked the HIFICRITIC review; the amp they used for the test was a CJ 350, an amp I know well as I have one. An Ayre integrated also worked well. They found the sensitivity to be 91db so ultra high power would not be requited; in fact they said a 25 watt amp could be used if very high volumes were not wanted. It would take 300 watts of program material giving about 110db sound levels. It was a moderately difficult load but nothing like the Sasha in that respect. It was a very positive review and it remains in their top recommended speaker class.
