    5802 hands down. No contest. But yes, it would be nice to know the application and corresponding gear used. Won;t change my choice but I could make other suggeations as well.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    I own both and they both are very good amps but I would say the 5802 is a step above A little more refined if you will.

    5802. The 585 is very nice, but a **** to work on and most need to be rebuilt do to leaking capacitors.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben
