The Krell Solo 575 monoblocks ran my 801D better than any other amplifier I've heard. They had great speed, detail, a nice large/deep soundstage, and punchy (but tuneful also) bass. Loads of power too. They outperformed my massive EV900e monos, which was already no slouch. Paired with a CAST-capable preamp kicks things up to super amp/preamp territory. :-)
Best preamplifier, amplifier for B&W 800 Diamond
Buying the new B&W 800 Diamond speakers (already installed). I was wondering who has first hand experience which preampifiers and amplifers sound best with these speakers. Sound quality is the most important issue, not necessarily price. Any feedback would be appreciated!
