If I upgrade my speaker, do I need to ...

I currently have Audible Illusions L1 preamp, McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe amp, and a pair of B&W CDM-9NT. I have been thinking to upgrade the speaker to B&W Nautilus 802. If I do that, do I need to upgrade my amp, or add another one to bi-amp in order to get the most out of the 802? I am just trying to do some budgeting.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response. It seems I will need more power to drive the 802N, and so, I need to factor that into the budget. And since the speaker alone is a stretch for me, I will need to put aside this upgrade for sometime.

BTW, Blindjim, when you say there are other speakers choices, can you give some examples? I am open to other suggestions.

Thanks.
