best used amp around $2000 for B&W N802s


I am looking for a used amp in the $2000.00 range to power B&W N802. I here they take alot of watts to run, but i have also been told that 100 class a watts are better than 200 a/b watts. as most of you can tell i am new to this and could use some advice.

Thanks

Consider a used Mark Levinson 331 power amp which outputs 100wpc @ 8 ohms and 200wpc @ 4 ohms. You should be able to find one in excellent condition for about $2200. Use a bi-wire instead of a single wire configuration to get smoother highs and cleaner midrange.

I find the Mark Levinson 331 musical and the Bryston 7B-ST theatrical (more Hi-Fi & less musical).
