| B&W N800 vs Piega C10 Limited Hi guysI know both speakers (owning a pair of 801's myself). Although the Piega is an excellent speaker and made in my country I see the 800's clearly ahead. In my opinion the Piega has the tendency to sound harsh/bright. The advantage of Piega: y... | |
| Amp for Nautilus 801 ..you may also end up with the Wadia drive and your Theta DAC. In the system you own now the drive is really not to be underestimated (more influence than the DAC in my opinion).AJK | |
| Which amp to Nautilus 801? HiYou will need at least 2*200 W / 8 Ohm in a reasonable-good room. In a bad room you will need 2*400 W.I read that you can buy a Classe 2200 in the U.S. for 5k. You could upgrade later if you wanted more bass control.Andi | |
| Amp for Nautilus 801 Hi AliDon't know the 7/9 but I've heard excellent Wadia devices.Try that!! (should be much better than 777).ANDI | |
| B&W 801 separate amplifier just for bass drivers Thanks Audp1Which of the Amps you name should I try first? What are your favourite products?Andy | |
| B&W 801 separate amplifier just for bass drivers Thank you Adp1You're right. I strongly evaluate other brands. But I still have a prejudice concerning Krell caused by older designs that sounded harsh/bright/brute. Have they musically improved a lot in the last 10-15 years?AK | |
| B&W 801 separate amplifier just for bass drivers Thanks for your recommondation432 is a very good amp and would solve the problem. Unfortunately I will have to spend 15'000$ for this device as prices double on the way to Europe. So ML is really on the way to fall out of the market here. I guess ... | |
| Amp for Nautilus 801 Hi AliI do not know the products you name exactly.But: Theta sounds good to me and I've heard very nice D/A converters of this brand. I don't see Sony as a high end brand really. On the other hand I tested an old 555 once as a drive and the result... | |
| Amp for Nautilus 801 High AliIf you can buy a ML 333 - what else do you want more. It's a wonderful amp. You should take it (that's about the only point I agree with Raquel).AJ | |
| Amp for Nautilus 801 PerreauxSounds like mineral water to me.Andi | |
| Amp for Nautilus 801 Hi guysI fully agree with Ldk concerning Classé CAM-400 Monos. I can also imagine to use 2 2200's (bridged) or 1 2200 on heights/mids in combination with a digital high power amp driving the bass. In the second case you will need a dB-regulation (... | |
| Amp for Nautilus 801 Hi AliAs we don't get Bryston in Switzerland I can't say much about it. All I know is what I read about the 14 B in a stereophile test you may know. I guess the Bryston won't match the 333's musicality but produce a more dynamic / brute sound.I ha... | |
| Amp for Nautilus 801 Hi AliI own a Nautilus 801 myself and use a ML 23.5 amp (2*200W). Although the 801 would gain dynamic with more power (especially the bass) I don't feel uncomfortable in my relatively small room (4m*6m). Heights and mids are highly musical and the... |
