Amp ventilation question

Paraneer,
The amp would be driving a pair of B&W 805 Nautilus speakers, using Kimber 8TC speaker cable.
I am thinking of getting two PM152SB's, and running them in bi-amp mode.
That's what I do with my current amps, a pair of older Arcams.
Jeff

Everybody,
Thanks for your responses. Good feedback.

Glen-how do you like your PM8004?

Jeff

Paraneer,
You're absolutely right: it is a bit overkill getting an extra pre-amp, which is what I'd be getting with two Marantz PM15S2's. I would prefer a power amp/integrated, but Marantz is not offering that option.

That's what I currently do: I bi-amp my Arcam Alpha 9 integrated with my Alpha 9 power amp.

Yes, I'm a big Arcam fan; I'm waiting to see what comes next: the A38/P38 is now several years old, and Arcam tells me they are coming out with something new soon.

I also own Marantz, and do really like the Marantz sound; the PM15S2 is on sale right now, so it's making me take a serious look at this.

My budget is roughly $4,000, and I keep saving up. I'm open to all suggestions about the best combination I can get to bi-amp with my B&W's.

Thanks again,
Jeff

Glen,
Good to hear about the PM8004; I am a Marantz guy, too. My SR7005 sounds wonderful.
