best used amp around $2000 for B&W N802s

I'm very happy with my Classe CA-200 (newer model, same guts as CA-201). Used is about $1500, perhaps a bit more.

Despite the name (pronounced "Class A"), I don't believe these are "pure" Class A amps. They are massive and heavy, and they do produce lots of current and heat.

Try a Nuforce8 amp they have a 30 day return at $1600. There's a link here on Audiogon. Report back to us if you decide to try.

Good Luck!

Give the Rotel RB1090 power amp (380w/ch) a listen.

There are a couple of pairs of Odyssey Stratos Extreme Monoblocks in classifieds here right now. Both are asking around $2,000. Don't know if you've ever auditioned Odyssey, but those would give you ~300W per channel of class A/AB goodness. Worth considering, given the reviews, etc.

Musical Fidelity A308cr Power Amp. In fact, if you could get two and vertically bi-amp, it'd be awesome!
