Amplification to B&W 800 Diamond

I am using VTL 450MKII amps with my older BW 801 Series 3 and love the combination. Think about high powered tube amps. I've used Bryston and Classe high powered amps and always returned to tube amps.

The 800's like the higher power amps. Whether you go with tubes or SS big power really makes them bloom. I'm running mine with the Mc 1.2k monos and can't complain.

I'm not sure what you hope to get from other amps... I have listened to your amps driving a number of speakers very well indeed!

Anyway, if you are adamant, I suggest that even more powerful amplification OR class A, are the way to go. So Adyton is a contender, they offer a hi powered mono. So is Krell, for that matter (though you may not like the sound if you like yr Electro). You might even consider used class A behemoths: MLevinson, VTL as suggested, AR 600... Keep in mind, however, that maintaining yr huge tube amp will be costly!

I have listened to these speakers extensively with German & Swiss class A amps (Symphonic Line & FM Acoustics).

Hi, Skrymar. I own B&W 802D and have been a long time fan of B&W speakers. After many tries and demoing many others with the B&W 802D, including some of the ones you have mentioned I have finally found amps that make my B&W 802D SING and SOAR like no other I have tried with them, for a price that is far less. Check out my post on "Hypex Ncore NC400" in the Amps Preamp thread. They are Veritas Mono blocks by Merrill Audio based on the Hypex Ncore NC1200 technology.
If you have any questions let me know.

Good luck, Al.
