Working on that with a local electrician and picking up some Hubbel outlets. 18amps, wow...have 2 freezers at work going in the same line that only draw 9amps. Wouldnt 2 dedicated lines drawing 9amps apiece be enough? Thanks, John

Suggestions for B&W 800N
Thanks for your responses, I think most of the amps Ive listed would be good choices. Was hoping to learn a little more about the pre amp match, would a single ended Conrad Johnson be an good option with a balanced solid state amp. Regards, John 
Tube amp to drive MBL 101's
Tireguy, I heard the 800 GTR's with Nova Utopias..nothing small about those guys. Each chasis covers 8 square feet of floor space, times that by four and you still need another 8 feet for their reference pre, took up half the living room floor! La... 
Tube amp to drive MBL 101's
Ask Albert Porter here on Audiogon about his VTL MB 750's, they are listed with pics. Heard them in Miami last week with the new Wilson Maxx, dont know if they will match with your 101's but Im sure Albert will know. Good luck

which amp for 12,500
Hi AJ, if you enjoyed the MC2102 I would get a second MC2102 amp, sell the 802's and upgrade to the 800's...and put the 4000.00 to 5000.00 your saving into a tennis bracelet for the wife for being so cool! Best of luck!!
