If I upgrade my speaker, do I need to ...


I currently have Audible Illusions L1 preamp, McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe amp, and a pair of B&W CDM-9NT. I have been thinking to upgrade the speaker to B&W Nautilus 802. If I do that, do I need to upgrade my amp, or add another one to bi-amp in order to get the most out of the 802? I am just trying to do some budgeting.

Thanks.
