Drrdiamond was right. B&W used to voice their Nautilus line-up with big Krell amps until Krell started to make their own loudspeakers. The relationship between B&W and Krell sort of went sour then. Supposedly B&W's new alliance would be Classe according to my local B&W dealer.
In respect with the choice of amp for the N802, both Krell and Mac are well built gears though quite different sounding. However, if you are like me who prefers to leave the amp on all the time, then go with Mac because you can leave the Mac on all the time and it would stay much cooler than the Krell.
