Amp's suggestions for B&W Nautilus Prestige?


...I need advice on amps to drive these speakers (snail), budget is $20,000.
They are 4 ways with active crossover, I need 8 channels 100W- 300W.
Amps will stand on a rack- maximum height is 20".
I am using an Audio Research reference 3 and Wadia 581i se.
I prefer to have gain to every channel but it isn't a must.
I thought about 2 x Linn Akurate 4200 (4x111W each).

Thank you in advance for your time.

Another option that I think about it is 4 x Jeff Rowland 112.

Get rid of the Wadia and ARC, and get yourself the entire top of the line Phonosophie gear.Superb mature sound.

Nice meeting you in the Munich show. Did you get the new version w. the diamond tweeters? I bet they are amazing. It will be a lot of fun and active is the way to go. For the money you might want to try digital amplification for the bass and some tubes on top. You can have a lot of fun & headaches figuring it out. But definitely at least SS on the bass. I am very impressed w. the new Krell stuff but it is out of your price range. Maybe a pair of 5 channel Brystons would do the trick.
