Speaker match for Plinius 8200 Mk II

I would seriously look at the B&W Nautilus 803's. I have the 804's with the Plinius and it is a great combo...

What kind of music do you listen to? I listen mostly to rock/pop. I've read a couple reviews that say the B&W speakers are not for rock n rollers. Any insights to this?

Also, are you using the 8200? You did say Plinius, but I was wondering if you feel the 8200 is enough amp for the 803's.

Thanks

Don,
The ultimate solution:
You can buy directly from Germany Avantgarde Solo active speakers for arround $6000 with horn midrange and tweeter and you won't need Plinius 8200 -- it's an easy component to sell since everyone loves it.
They're not ported and can stay close to the walls. The sound... well, great for neary any kind of music. Moreover they're fully adjustable: vertical angle, bass crossover point...
Later-on you can get some 1...2W/ch 2A3 SET to drive the horns as for the valuable upgrade.

with Analysis Plus Oval 8's and Luminous Audio Technology Synchestra Signature or Cardas Golden Cross interconnects. Sounds good to me. Good luck and happy listening.

I recently bought the Musical Fidelity 3.2 power amp which I am running from the pre out on my new Sony ES receiver as I wanted to go home theatre without ruining my 2 channel. I really love the MF. I think it is better than the Plinius and less money as well. I would love to get a good preamp to test the 3.2 WOW that would be nice. If I get tired of home theatre that is what I will do. Back to Hessong's question I would now look to try and get the Nu-vista amp to go with the 803's The integrated would have plenty of power but it would set you back an arm and a leg

Not a 3 way, but Roman Audio Centurions are a huge bargain, and sell used for around $3000 - $3500. They have a downward firing port that makes them fairly easy to place, and are FLAT to 35 hz. They have been used at shows with the Plinius 8200 Mk2 to great effect. They are compact, but produce a big sound with the best soundstaging I've ever heard from a floorstander.
