Hi Lalitk
We both own a pair of 800's but our speakers are of very different design and builds. 8^0
I have run 200 + wpc OTL monoblocks. The bass was lean and bettered by my Music Reference RM9. Also depending on where you live - you may need to have your Air Conditioning running in the winter. Forget OTL. Stick to Push Pull. You need a tube amp with excellent transformers that can be tapped on 4 ohms.
If you really want to come to the end of the audiophile road and enjoy the music. This is one way.

Try to find a first generation RM9 also.
A very good solid state option is the Dan D'Agostino era Krells. Dan used to have Matrix 800's in his personal room and designed the FPB series to their needs.
Anyway some more stuff to chew on. :^)
Good luck.
Cheers Chris
