I had B&W N802s and found them too bright in the high frequencies when paired up with a Krell KSA100. I then had them paired up with my (old) McIntosh MC2125 and they were darn near perfect. I would definately go with the McIntosh over Krell for B&W speakers as a result. Audition both and see but I think you will find the McIntosh beautifully liquid on 802s (especially a MC352). MIT cables definately help 802s tone down the shrill also so that was a good choice in my opinion. Arthur
