B W Nautilus 802 - How much power?


I have been told that the 802's require a lot of power.
I have an Audio Research D300 (solid state) - 160 watts into 8 ohms. Do you think it can handle the 802's without straining?

I currently run a Levinson 335 (250 watts) with my 802s. Prior to this, I had a Levinson 334 (125 watts). There is very little difference between the two amps 95% of the time. The only exception is at very loud volume levels with a lot of bass, and even then the improvement is small. I beleive that more important than raw power is the quality of the amplifier and although I have not heard your amplifier, I'll bet that it would be more than sufficient.
