I am a B&W dealer and you have to be carefull as the tweeter can bite with the wrong amp. I don't think the Krell is a good match. The bel is good, but if you can find one, the best amp I have ever heard on B&W's is the Essence Saphire or Essence Emerald. (Very hard to find because no one sells them unless the owner dies or goes through a divorce.)another great amp would be the Gryphon or a Pilinius. (Even their small one is good.) Don't use a tube amp as the 800's need a lot of control in the bass. I'm sorry but the Sunfire 600 is not that good. Anything Bob Carver touches except for tuners becomes the Covair of audio.
A good amp to drive my B&W Matrix 800's
Hello,
I want to get a new amp for matrix 800's, I am using a Krell KAV 300i, I like class A but I am open minded. I have a Conrad Johnson Premier Ten preamp.

Thank You,
PS: I want to spend around $3,500 to $4,000.
