Amp for Nautilus 801

Hi folks,
Thanks for the very valuable information.I am situated in Pakistan where we dont have much options are available.Shipment of big hefty amps are very expensive also.The choices I mentioned in my first mail were the amps currently available and capable to drive the N 801s.The only classe amp available in my area is DR 5 and DR 25 combo which I think is bit small and old for handling 801s load.Has any body tried Perreaux amps on B&Ws?

Dear All,
Thanks for the very detailed responses.After reviewing all the replies I come conclusion of deleting both the extremes CJ and Krell and arrange an audition for the mark levinson and bryston.Cjs premier 12s are very good amps I enjoyed them for 5 years in my previous system with Martin Logan CLS which was bit shy on both extremes.Since I want to move one step ahead and design a system with mids like CLS and good extension on both sides of the spectrum in a 20'x19' room. I will short list my audition to only two amps and get back with my findings.It was very surprising that no body reccomend Krell, any comment!
Kind regards from the other side of the world (Pakistan)

Hi Alphorn,
Thanks for the response,I tried them with single 333 and the result was good.2nd ML 333 will be included in the long term plan.I am also exploring the option to auditioning Bryston 7B ST since I heared good things about 801 with 7BST and they are available.How long you are using N801s& what system do you have.
Any cables suggestions.
Regards

Hi folks,
As suggested by Alphorn and Raquel,I did a very extensive audition of ML 333 and finally bought it in US$4500. I think ML 333 is a very good amp to drive Nautilus.Thanks friends for the great advise.My next goal is to upgrade the front end any suggestion on Sony XA 777ES or Cassablanca II,s Extreme DAC is superior?

Hi Alphorn,
thanks for the response,I also tried an old 777 long ago as a transport and the result was very good.The other option is Wadia 7/9 combo,what you say,
Thanks

Hi Alphorn,
Yes you are right,Wadia 7/9 is a big improvement.Thanks everybody for all the input.
