Does Crown k2 amp match the b&W Matrix 802?

Somebody is offering me to buy 4 year old Crown K2 for $400. I have B&W Matrix 802. Should I buy it, I plan to use my rotel rsx 1065 receiver as a preamp(for now, but will upgrade it later). Do you think Crown K2 is a good match for my speakers? Do you think 4 year old Crown K2 amp for $400 is a good deal?. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks.

At $400 it is a good deal but overall the B&Ws will sound better as you mate them with a better high current SS power amp. Another entry level choice is Bryston or the Krell KAV-250, much more than $400 but you can upgrade later. the point being that you could use the Crown if that is all you budget allows for right now.

Happy Listening
