suggestion for amp to go with B&W N803

Don't forget to use a good speaker stand with the B&Ws. My matrix 3s sounded very good to me until I built a home made base that was much wider than the speakers, load them up with heavy sand bags with good spikes and but a bag on top of the speakers, they became sooo mcuh better than I ever thought. The only problem is now I wish I had better speakers to do this to.

I just listened to a Rowland Concentra II last night on my friends N803s and it is by far the best amp he has had on his system. The sound was very defined and involving with great detail throughout the range. He has owned ML383, BAT, and others and we have had my Rogue 99Magnum and Plinius SA100 MKIII over too and these have been trounced by the Rowland. We laughed about how this is a VERY synergistic match, you really should hear the Rowland.

The rest of his components are Electrocompaniet CD player and AZ silver ref MKII IC and Audio Tekne speaker wire.

I know his amplifier hunting days are over.

Kabouter,

I have been wondering how an Accuphase amp might mate with my N801's.

So to your ears, the Accuphase sounded neutral? I might just like Accuphase amps if they truly are neutral. My impression through "reading" posts and mags was that their product had a more warm sound.

Any thoughts?
