What are the best amps for B&W N802's?

There is no "Best" for this speaker. You can drive these speakers with as little as an 10 watt per channel Ipod integrated amplifier or 500 watt plus amps. The key questions you need to answer are how loud you want to play and how much bass do you desire. I have used 802's and 800's with flea powered tube amps, 150 watt tube amps, and solid state amps with satisfactory results. I love the harmony of tube amps with these speakers, I currently use 150 watt per channel tube amps from Germany. Good luck

i have done a great deal of research... although options very, greatly, there are three amps that seem to always be on the list for ALL B&W speakers. Krell, Macintosh, and Classe. Different sizes for different series. although I have not personally demoed them, i honestly dont even know if i could hear the difference anyway. if you are going to take options on the amps, make sure that ALL of the Variables are the same when some speaks of what is "better." Alot of people will say that they herd a difference but it will rarly be in the exact same room with the exact same equipment. good luck
