B&W N802: Which amp??

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.

I do agree with Dancer on the Krell FPB 400cx amps. My experience with 801N went from Bryston 7BST, Classe M1000, PassLab 600, Macintosh MC501 and finally stopped at Krell FPB650mc.

OK, this was a L-O-N-G time ago but I was pretty spellbound at Woodbridge Stereo in NJ with their demo of the N802 and a Pass X350 (when the Pass X series was first introduced).

Bryston seems like a good option. The 4BSST with Nautilus worked great.

And if you look in their archives, there is a nice review by Wes Phillips in Stereophile from Jan. 1999 (I think) of the N801 with a Krell FPB600 when both were new. I think he used a Meridian 508 cdp. He talks about the live mono Dylan concert recording there. It's a pretty good read regardless.
