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.

I owned 801 sereis 2 for years and in my opinion it would outclass the Crown amp ( i also owned crown before ). I used and would suggest ( used Threshold s/300 ) ,s/500/ sa-1 monos etc. Exceptional amp non fatiguing very well balanced sound ( with great slam ) . They come up occasionally on Audiogon...
