Hello Patrick,
I own the 801n's. My amps are vk-1000 monos and I have a Wadia 861 going direct to the amps. Cabling is Tara labs Rsc Air 1. King Cobra on the Wadia. The Nauitilus line of speakers are special (or sometimes a pain) in that they allow you to hear everything your electronics have to offer.
Therefore, if you scimp on clean power, you will hear it. Your music might be thin sounding without the full dynamic impact you might expect from some passages...especially strings. For me the Plinius amps are great. But I feel they may be too warm for me. My Bats are warm enough. Sometimes I like a little more precision and exactness in the presentation. I am currently looking into Pass Labs. I have had one audition and was impressed. I need to do more research however. My only recommendation is to get rid of the MIT. I have tried this model on my speakers. The music seemed a little masked by these cables. My ic's were not MIT though. Good luck and have fun!
