Amp for Nautilus 805 - Krell KAV or Classe cap 101

I want to change the amplifier for my Nautilus 805.
I am currently using musical fidelity a3.2.
When playing symphonies, mf seems to lack in power.
I have placed the speakers in the living room, so I would say that it is a medium sized room.

I am thinking of changing to krell kav300i, or classe cap 101.
I think krell would have enough power to drive 805, but a little bit worried that it might sound harsh.
Cap 101 might not have enough power to drive 805.

Thanks for your comments!

Just hooked up a Kav300IL to my system last week, bypassin my Proceed AVP-S and Linar 250 but retaining the speakers, cables and source.
In one word, dissapointing.
I also use N804 and N805's and would NOT recommend this as an option. The source is a Sony S9000ES using Transparent reference XL IC's, Audioquest Python XLR from amp to preamp, and Transparent Plus Bi-Wires for speakers.
I have however, heard the kav300IL in a system with Vienna Accoustics Beethoven's that sounded very nice, but only at lower volumes.
Good luck.
