IMO, there are very few out there...

Again,

IMO,

The 802 needs a lot of high current, and really needs to be pushed up at high volumes in big rooms to flush out it's midrange. I've a friend who uses a 250W per channel Marsh power amp with amazing results. To me, he has found the perfect amp for the 802, nice high current, warm sound. The Manley NeoClassic 500s would be another great choice, but again, aren't integrateds.
Perhaps a Griffin integrated that's 200w per channel, but as you get up into the $8000 range, it'd be just as easy to go pre-power combo.....
But then good amplification is rarely less than double one speakers anyway...
