BAT POLL...

I can't imagine the VK 1000 Monos not giving you the feeling of "enough power"...BTW, the BATPAK option is standard on the 1000's. Something new you might check out is still in the BAT family, the VK 6200, a multichannel amp that you can have outfitted with four mono amp modules and you could power bi-amp with one 4 channel amp. In some ways it outperforms the VK 500 ( 2 channel Vs 2 channel), since the 1000's are really two 500's strapped, you might want to experiment. The VK 6200 in a 4 channel configuration lists for 7500.00

Kind of guessing as to what your dissatisfaction might be with the 1000's. If it is bass problems, my experience is that the N801's can easily overwhelm even a 5000 cubic foot room. No amp will be able to compensate for too small a room for these speakers.

Another option you might want to try is putting BAT's tube products (150SE is their monoblock version) on the mids/tweeters. Have heard their tube/upper, ss/bass demoed on other speakers and enjoyed the combo immensely.

Pcc, give the BAT factory a call on your question. Both Steve and Victor are very easy and willing to answer questions. I suspect yours has been asked before. Might be a nice additional product for them.

If your looking for more power lincoln makes some great arc welders which is pretty much what you would need! Is there any way you could bi-amp your speakers with 4 VK-1000 and if you can I don't want to see your electric bill! Good Luck.

try 2 Plinius SA250 MKIV, one amp is powerfull enough to drive a nautilus 802 beautifully, probably 2 amps will help you out. I use a plinius SA100 on my nautilus 803 and it sounds warm yet detailed, not as detailed as krell FPB series but certainly warmer.

Thank you for all of your responses so far. You guys are great. Most of all you're smart and knowledgable about this hobby. Thats why I post. Even if I do sound silly, I figure its best to get my wild ideas out into the open and be done with it before I spend money on something I dont need. I now think I should refine what I have and possibly try some BAT tubes on top as suggested by Alexanderj. I cannot afford the Rowlands yet. Thanks again you guys for the input.
