What are the best amps for B&W N802's?


Would appreciate your opinion on the best amp setup for my B&W N802's. I don't want to play them particularly loud but still want as broad a sonic signature as possible. Every one says they need lots of juice - why is this?
Thanks.

There is no "Best" for this speaker. You can drive these speakers with as little as an 10 watt per channel Ipod integrated amplifier or 500 watt plus amps. The key questions you need to answer are how loud you want to play and how much bass do you desire. I have used 802's and 800's with flea powered tube amps, 150 watt tube amps, and solid state amps with satisfactory results. I love the harmony of tube amps with these speakers, I currently use 150 watt per channel tube amps from Germany. Good luck
