Best amps for new B&W Nautilus 800's


I just purchased the new B&W Nautilus 800's. These babies will play a dual role in my home theater and for music listening -- more music than theater use. I have listened to Mark Levinson 336, Classe CAM350, Classe 401, and Krell 300c. Am also interested in Krell 350Mc's and 600c. These amps range quite a bit in price, and I'm willing to spend money -- but I want to spend SMART money. My pre-amp/processor is the new Theta Casablanca II with Extreme DACs. I haven't selected a new DVD or CD transport yet. I like strong bass and want to control the speakers with authority. Please help me select best amp.

When I look in my B&W speaker manuals they state BI-AMPING is prefered. I spoke with B&W directly on desired amps and the only real statement I got from them is to BI-AMP if at all possible. So I went with B&W'S recommendations. Simply thought if they design them and build them they should have the most knowledge about there speakers. They do not build AMPS or cables so there is no gain for them to state that BI-AMPING is better unless they believe it will help the sound of there speaker. I have found that it sure is what I prefer as well.
I have the N802's and for the money the David Belles 350A with a Belles 20A preamp is hard to match for my ears. Straightwire Maestro cables / interconnects (XLR).
I can switch from Home Theatre (Anthem AVM20) to pure Stereo or combine the DSP efects for an all channel stereo.
Rears, fronts & Sides are also B&W (HTM1 / N804s) with Belles amps (OCM 800 & 2X OCM 200's - bridged)
Talk to Larry at Hwdsound@aol.com for a great price and excellent low key service.
These amps are hand built and very reasonably priced.

Stereophile's reviewer used bi-amped Bel Canto evo200.2's to great effect. I have the newer evo2's and plan on using them in just that role.
Actually, they were not biamped with the BCs. Instead each BC was bridged to a monoblock for each channel. The eVo2s work well, too.
I agree with bi-amping. Before, I used 2 Nakamichi Pa-5ii to biamp a BnW 802 series 3.
