B&W 804: Is B&W a speaker for pop/rock?


I have the oppotutninity to purchase a pair of naut 804 but am concerned that it might not be a good choice for pop/rock.

What are some of the current opinions about B&W being driven by a 150 watt amp verses some other speaker suggestions.

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions

I have a friend who has N803s and they use all the power you can throw at them. We have listened to them with a Mark Levinson 383, Plinius SA100 MKIII and BAT VK 200 and had just enough power with any of these fine amps.

I presume the N804s are about the same effeciency as the N803s.

If you have a quality amp with 150 watts I think you will find it is just enough power to rock pretty good but you may find you want more. BTW my friends room is about 25 x 25 with a vaulted ceiling so you may do better with a smaller room.
