Hi
I brought the Nautilus 804’s to local dealer and tried:
-Classe 201 and cav-150 = good
-Aragon 8008bb = good
-Bryston 5BST = good
-McIntosh mc7201 (?) = fair
(grade are in order) they carry Conrad Johnson but hadn’t try out.
Went home with Moon W5 ($3550 + Tax) list around $4600. Sound quality so amazing and everything is magical with Moon W3 or W5
Good Luck
Don

Is proceed amp kind of bright for the nautilus. I really like the warm tube sound.
