Looking to match the best system for A new B&W 802. I am considering Krell 200c, krc3 and CD or Mark Levinson 334, 37 and CD.ANY GOOD ADVISE OR DIRECTIONS?
I am currently running my B&W 802 MkII's (not nautilus) with a Bryston BP-25 (beautiful sound) and Aragon 8008BB (plenty of guts to drive those somewhat lazy speakers). I never did like the brittle Krell sound.
If you are considering the Levinson 334 do yourself a favor and go listen to the new Jeff Rowland Model 10. It is a 150 watt amplifier that sounds and looks gorgeous.
without a doubt get a Tact Mellennium mkII, I have the 801's and use the millenium and they sound great together. I heard the 802's at Lyric in NY hooked up to a full Levinson system in a big room and it sounded pretty good but nothing to write home about. I then heard the 802's hooked up to the TacT at Stereo Exchange in a small dinky room and it blew away the levinson/802 combo. enough said.
I am currenttly using all Classe eletronics with the Nautilus 802s and really like the sound. The Classe CA-301 ampliphier does a great job and the "Classe Sound" has works wonderfully with these very analytical speakers.
