amp for B &W 801

While I have not heard it, some people on this site say the Wolcott Presence Monblocks can handle a speaker load like the 801. When I get around to auditioning amps for my 802N the Wolcott is on the list as a tube candidate. - Cheers, Dan.

Thanks for the input. I have heard good things about Wolcott but not sure they will work. Krell keeps coming up. My local Krell dealer was dumping on the Pass labs amps. But of course he doesn't sell them. Ideally I will search the ads and look for the amps you all recommend. John

i currently have 801 matrix 2's powered by bat vk-1000's. the sound and power is ultra smooth, liquid and powerful... balanced and never sloppy. i have the vk 40 pre and vkdg cd player also. i might look into biamping in the future with new 801n's.

B7W 801 series 3 r money sucking pigs because they need expensive gear to sound great as they r capable of. Go levinson if u have 801 series 2 or 3. if yours a nautalis krell or levison at least 200 watts unless you r going to use 20.6 mono blocks. They like expensive speaker cable also!!!!!!

Bryston 7Bs works good. Am going to experiment with just the 7B for low and uses Canary 301 for high. The Canary uses a quad of 300Bs and according to a few who had tried it, they stuck with it.
