Krell will kick those B&W's into gear. Try a 300i or KAV pre/amp combonation. It all depends on the type of sound you are looking for. I like the dynamics, impact and immediacey that Krell has with B&W's. I use a KRC-HR, 300S & 801's III. Remember that you are the one that has to be happy after the purchase.
Best Matching Amps for B&Ws?
I am a newbie trying to build a system that is 90% music, 10% movies. I have acquired recently some B&W's speakers: DM603(fronts),DM601(rears), ASW1000(Active sub) and CC6(centre) What would be the best Pre/Pro + Amp combo for the speakers that could do music as well? My budget is about $5,000. Or should I consider a separate system for music? If so how do I do it? Cheers.
