Elixir,
I haven't spoken to Kent about the .8 series. But in the past he has suggested the AB amps for B&W speakers. I've had my speakers for about 20 years since they were new, but I won't keep them forever.
I'm not actively looking to make a purchase anytime soon, I am just wondering about the comparison, because the 2 models are almost exactly the same price.
You're probably right about the power. The 100 watt monoblocks are probably the better choice for me.
In the meantime, I love my x250.5 and probably shouldn't even be thinking about the others. But I can't help it!! :)
