B&W N802: Which amp??

I support the Krell idea. I owned n802's and feel they didn't shine till I got a FPB300c that later I had upgraded to a 400c...even then I feel they would have benefited from more power. Would have loved to hear them with a FPB600c or FPB650m's....mmmmmmmmm!

Good luck!

I drive my B&Ws with a Krell FPB 400cx and I find It to be a nice match. The B&Ws love power.

I drive my B&W 802 Diamond by pair of Spectron Musician III monoblocks and all tube Joule-Electra LA-300ME preamp. These speakers LUV power but they love finesse may be more.... I am extremely happy with this combo and cannot recommend it highly enough.

I would use a high powered Bryston. Would work great!

I run my N802's with a Conrad Johnson CT-5 preamp into a C-J ET250s power amp. I think they sound great to my ears. Previosly had a pair of Marantz sm11 amps running in monoblock. I also thought these were great. Previous to that, had a MF308. Very good, but the last two set ups were a definite improvement.

My $.02.
