I have used a Krell KAV-500i (250 wpc integrated) with excellent results. I have also used its smaller brother, the KAV-300i (150 wpc) with good results too. These speakers DO NOT require tubes due to their relative sweetness. My feeling ( and that's all it is) is that a good tube amp such as a CJ Premier 11a or an ARC VT-100 should do a great job on these speakers.
803N power Requirements?
As Stereophile reader Tellig tells us that the Nautilus line is voiced "so sweet" that tube s aren't necessary.I say if that's your sound than "BS Sam".But while the 805 and 804 might work with 45-60 watts of tubes what about 803's?Hear that while they have 91db efficiency they have a nasty impedance dip down to 3ohms.Thinking maybe the Rogue Mono120's or a Cary 80watt Int.Thoughts?
