Amp for Nautilus 801

Any nautilus owner out there help me selecting an amp for my Nautilus 801!
The options I ve got are:
Mark Levinson No. 333
Krell MDA 300
Conrad Johnson Premier 12
Bryston 7B.
My music preference is Jazz and classical,occassionally pop.For pre amp I am using Casablanca II.Any suggestion will be of great help.
thanks

..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).

I agree for a Krell FPB 600. This will generate alot of power that this pair of B&W needs. You only need a great preamp to tame this Krell FPB, I recommend ML380s. You will thank me alot later.

The old Krell KSA250 can easily drive these speakers. My relative has these with the N801. His pre-amp are the Jadis JPS2. It sounded very good.

Tube pre-amp + any big krells on these N801 are verY good choices!!

good luck
