Hi. I have a pair of old 802 matrix 2.These speaker are real pigs to drive.Like you my biggest problem was my budgit.I was able to buy an Arragon 4004 Mk.2 amp.,this is a 200w per chanel best and still it was not musical to my ears. Asluck would have it the dam thing quit on my and as luck would have it again my friend just happened to have a Chord 600 amp., which is only rated at 125w per ch..What a difference! I've also have had a Bryson 4B st in the system with very good results. One other thing, once you settle on the amp. I strongly recomend you re wire your system with Analisis Plus oval 9 speaker cables and interconects. They are a stell and sonicly as big an upgrade as the amp..I bought the Chord.
separates for BW Natilus 804?
I have had lots of advice on both sides of this issue. The bottom line is this, only so much money. I have great speakers: BW N804, and BW 602s-2. Can you get ample clean power in a receiver, such as a Denon 4800, or do I need separates to do justice to these fine speakers?
thanks, joe
