B&W nautilus 804 for linn classik?

Hello all,

I am contemplating buying the B&W nautilus 804
as speakers for my linn classik, the main idea
being that I want to upgrade my whole system in
the next year or so and am starting with the
speakers. Of course, until I do upgrade the amp,
the classik will be paired with the 804s.
I liked the sound a lot when I listened to
the combo, but realize that there may be
issues with the linn's power.

What's your take?

Thanks,
vasvas

I have a Linn Classik (K) with B&W n805s and a REL subwoofer. The classik has enough power for most listening as long as you're not trying for concert levels. The n804s require a little more power than the n805s for the bass. I wouldn't recommend the combo for long term, but you said you were begining on an upgrade path.

If the Linn Classik is temporary, I suggest that you buy speakers that you like, fit your budget and, MAINLY, fit your listening room. Joel

For $800, you can add an LK85 to your current system to biamp. The Classik K / LK85 combo should be able to easily drive most speakers...
