Dp37 - you have got what I have. I also have a pair of N801s, with HTM, and N805 in a five speaker home theater set up. My audio habits are also 50/50 home theater vs. 2-channel listening. I have a Krell KAV-1500 which does the job quite well. It is a 5-channel at 300 watts/channel. I use 4 channels to biamp the N801, and the fifth channel for center channel HTM. The 1500 is a very musical amp, while it also provides consistency across the front three speakers. I use a cheaper 5 channel amp to bi-amp the N805 surrounds. You can get a used Krell KAV-1500 for just a shade below $4000 on Audiogon. Good luck!
Nautilus 801's- Cheaper Amplification
Hello all. Would appreciate your help with the following situation. Recently purchased b&w nautilus 801's at a great price but still cleared out much of my budget. Wondering if anyone has any ideas regarding more affordable amplification for these brutes (like 3-5k for 2 used amps with at least 100 watts power ss)
from everything i have read they really do sing better with bi-ampliciation and so i am attempting to go that route.
the speakers are serving a dual role 50% ht and 50 % 2 channel
i have a sf line 1 with upgraded nos tubes
acurus act 3 with abm
rega planet cd player
thanks for your help in advance
