Does Crown k2 amp match the b&W Matrix 802?

Somebody is offering me to buy 4 year old Crown K2 for $400. I have B&W Matrix 802. Should I buy it, I plan to use my rotel rsx 1065 receiver as a preamp(for now, but will upgrade it later). Do you think Crown K2 is a good match for my speakers? Do you think 4 year old Crown K2 amp for $400 is a good deal?. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks.

4 year old K2 is a steal for 400$ - if it's in fair condition of course.
The K2 is absolutely world class for bass but may not be adequate for full range to pair with the 802. I use it for my Wilson Audio WHOW subwoofer, where it is absolutely fantastic.
If you consider biamping the 802 (is that possible?) use it for the bass. If not you may look elsewhere.
