My very first audition was with the MC275 paired with the 802. There was too much in the high end (bright) and bass was wanting . I did not hear it mono'd. It is personal but I do not like too bright. I would imagine the 275s mono'd with the 802 would still be bright but improve bass. I chose the Elipsa to pair with 275 because I lean toward neutral /warm and that worked.
