Audio note amp driving b&w????

Hi there. I am trying to build a decent audio note based 2 channel system but have to do it slowly over a few years. I need two systems in my house, one for surround sound in one room and for another room strictly music. I've got the surround system completed with b&w 602 s3 for front speakers and a denon reciever. I only have money now for an audio note amp and will have to continue to use the b&w front speakers for a year or two. Would a p3 amp be sufficent to drive these satisfactorily for a year or two as I save up for the E speakers?

The Audio Note is a wonderful amp, but it will not drive the b&w. The speltz autoformer will help as a patch, but it will introduce some significant veiling and timing issues.

What about selling the b&w speaker and buying the P3 and the AN speaker kit through Brian at Audio Note kits? Just an idea. Or, buy an Omega or Galante used and resell it when you have the dough for the Audio Note speakers.
