Levinson 332 amp with the B&W Signature 800?


Hi.
Are the B&W Signature 800's powered succesfully by Levinson 38+332 or 380+335? Otherwise do they need 333,336,33H,33? I want to know. I am going to hear these combinations at the audio shop. Your replies would be much appreciated.

I have the ML 39,38,332 and the B&W Nautilus 802's,and consider upgrading to the B&W Signature(or Nautilus) 800's two years later. I am largely satisfied with the 802's except a little unsatisfaction with their bass.

If you have had or listened to the B&W Signature(or Nautilus) 800's,I want to learn from your experience what sound came from them. What sound came from them from the viewpoint of treble,midrange,bass,timbre,tonal balance and musicality?

Having listened to the B&W Signature 800's with the Linn Climax Solo amplifier,the Accuphase C2900 preamplifier and the Linn CD 12 Cd player,someone said that they had sounded bright from the viewpoint of timbre. For this reason they say that the B&W Signature(or Nautilus) 800's are matched better with tube amplifiers than with solid state amplifiers. Is that true?

Thanks.
