I have 802 Matrix and the VT100 MKIII/LS25 MKII combo is the best for them. I has a Bryston 4B prior. The VT is so much better. Many people told me it can't work because the B&W need ss amps with alot of current. Thank god I did not listen to them. A good number of NY audiophiles with Levinson and Krell gear have told me my system sounds better than it has any right to. If you have the money, the VT200 MKII will be superb.
Which Amp will make the802N sing
I just took delivery of a pair of Nautilus 802's which do not match any equipment I presently own. I started about a year ago, not anticipating catching the bug, With Arcam FMJ integrated and power amp's, sourcing from FMJ tuner and DAC, runing into 804N's via Straight wire Maistro. I've considered from reading only, the Audio Research LS25 pre with the VT200amp and less bright Cardas cable. Has anyone heard this system or have any thoughts . Looking for a natural presentation which is detailed and tight from top to bottom with a wide and 3 dimentional sound stage. Thank you for the feedback..
