Reccomendations for Nautilus Speaks

Try Classé products. The Nautilus tweeter a bit hot and hurting your ears if you matching with Bryston or Krell. It is also depends on speakers cables and interconnect too. I think that the reason why Classé now under B&W wings of marketing.

I disagree with the above post by Amthanh,The Classe Amps are very good,But they do not have the tight bottom end control such as the Krell and Bryston.The tweeter on the B&W Nautilus is a metal dome type,I believe that the Source and the pre-amp are the governing factor if the B&W's are to sound their best.The older Krells are on the hard side,But the Cast And CX series of amplifiers are among the best I've heard,I'am currently using The FPB 700CX to drive my Nautilus 802's,also The Bryston 14B-SST and 7B-SST are also very refined and smooth on top.

Plinius Amps make a great match with B & W Nautilus speakers.

I've heard the SA-250 Mark IV with the 802's -- sounded great.

I searched for an amp to mate with my N802's for two years before deciding on Simaudio's W-5. I use the W-5 with Simaudio's P-5 preamp for music. It's a very nice combination. (This would only make sense to me if you are really into music rather than home theater.)

I guess I disagree with suggestions that would cause you to spend a lot of money on amplification for your HTM1 or N804's. I use the HTM1 and SCM1 and find it very difficult to believe that high quality amplification would make a difference to my enjoyment of a movie.
