I own a pair of the Matrix 800, and find the stronger the amp the better the sound.The ML 335 is nice amp for its age. It did the bass very well on mine. what cables and jumpers are you using?

B&W Matrix 800: Bi-amping thoughts?
One of these days I'll be able to unpack and set up the B&W Matrix 800's my pop left me. Our current home just isn't the place for them but we'll be taking care of that in the not too distant future.

Anyways, pop was using Jadis electronics with them and they were heavenly. However while the Defy7 at 100WPC worked well, I've been thinking bi-amping and powering the woofers with a SS amp of similar caliber and power instead. My thinking is to enjoy the air and musicality for mid's and tweeters that the tubes render but to have the bottom end punch and extension that SS seems to provide for those four 12" polymer woofers.
So my question is, what might be an appropriate SS amplifier for this set up?
The preamp will be a Jadis JP80 MC. Thanks much and...
Happy listening.
