The new Krell KAV-400xi Integrated Amp. mates very, very well with your 703s. This is one powerful Integrated Amp. with excellent sound! It has an output of 200wpc > 8ohms and 400wpc > 4ohms it will easily power your speakers and sounds great with pop, rock and jazz music. I'm using it with the Krell SACD Standard and Nautilus 804s and haven't heard as good or better for the money. You could easily pick-up a Dealer Demo. for around $2K, it retails new for only $2,500.
Which amp for B&W 703s
Im upgrading my Musical Fidelity A3.2cr integrated for a 200-250watt power amp. Trying to keep it under $2,000 and therfore in the used market.
Ive reasrched A few amps but am able to hear them as the only high end store in my city in very limited. Looking at the Conrad Johnson 2500a as some reviws have been very good on it and it seems to go well with B&W 800 series speakers havent heard about the 703s with them.
The other amp choice seems to be the Krell 250A. Again some people have great results with the 800s.
I listen to rock and like imaging, dynamics, and volume. I find the MF 3.2 cr to be great in many ways but lacks power and snap.
Source is a Cary 303/200 which would be running direct into the amp.
Kicker is I can get a used krell for $6- to possibly $1,200 less.
Anyone with experience on a similar setup(s), id like to hear your thoughts.
