Best Matching Amps for B&Ws?

Krell will kick those B&W's into gear. Try a 300i or KAV pre/amp combonation. It all depends on the type of sound you are looking for. I like the dynamics, impact and immediacey that Krell has with B&W's. I use a KRC-HR, 300S & 801's III. Remember that you are the one that has to be happy after the purchase.

Thanks Krell1 for your suggestion. However, Krell is incredibly expensive, 3 times you would pay(even after the currency conversion) for when you are in United States. You guys are very fortunate. Therefore, I am stuck with the Rotels(RMB1095) or the Anthem MCA5 or the Marantz MM9000. What do you think? Thise B&Ws have a sensitivity of obly 86db.. Cheers. Therefore, I think

My question is why did you buy a surround speaker system if you are interested in 90% music? You've got about $2400 of speakers there. For that you could have built a 2.1 system. (2 Fronts & Sub). There is really nothing wrong with this for movies if your interest is only 10%. Anyway I guess it is too late for that. Rotel, NAD, Higher end Marantz & Yamaha are fine for the B&W 600 series speakers. Higher up the chain from there and you would be better off with better speakers in my opinion; for B&W at least the CDM series. Happy listening.

You may want to try and just go with a nice surround reciever for around $1,000 and spend the other 4k on a small intergrated, maybe even tube , set of monitors, and cd player. I am sure if you create a post you would get some help putting it together.
