Krell FPB 300cx enough to drive B&W Nautilus 801?

Your post is way too hard to read. Check out MWilson. 
Who has experience shipping large speakers?
I would try Ocean Air. They are reasonable and they are the main carrier used by Krell; and we know their stuff is heavy.By the way:About 11 years ago, I bought my B&W800's. They were shipped from Mass. to CA., FEDEX second day air. The shipme...

Krell, FPB series as big as you can afford.Richard
