B&W Nautilus 800N . Best amp & preamp setup ?

HELLO.

I own a pair of B&W Nautilus 800N speakers. Truely a great world class speaker. I had sold my JM Lab Utopias after buying the B&W Nautilus 800N.

Currently have several different setups of solid state and tube, hybrid front ends for these the 800N.

From Pass Labs, Threshold to Audio Research and Lamm. I have not been able to make a final decision on what setup to use with my B&W Nautilus 800N.

A little input from fellow 800N or 800 Signature owners is greatly appreciated. Thank you -Bob

hi
I have the 800D not the 800N but they should be similar. I tried Mcintosh 1201= muddy and lose bass. Then I went to ML 436 mono= dark and congested. So the Krell 450mx came in= These really worked well w/ the B&W but they were grainy. Now I have Accuphase M2000. By far these were the best match for me. They have tons of power and control and the mids and highs are tube like. Good luck with your choices.
