What Krell amp/Pre, CD unit match the B&W N802's?


I just bought a B&W Nautilus 802's and not sure which brand of an amp,pre-amp,CD unit I would use to fully utilize it's full benefit. I thought of Krell that I wouldn't go wrong since its one of the most prestigious name on the audiophile market.

What would you recommend the least price and model from Krell and still utilize the B&W 802's use to its max?
Any alternate brand perhaps more powerful but inexpensive and still compare with Krell in performance?

Thanks and I appreciate the help.
Have a good day.

I am powering my B&W N802 with a pair of Krell 350mcx monoblocks. My preamp is the Mark Levinson #32 and I have the Accuphase DP100/DC101 SACD combo. My interconnects and speaker cables are Nordost Valhalla XLR and Siltech Emperor. The sound is open, the soundstage is wide, the bass is fast (typical of Krell), and I like it very much in my 15x15 room. I heard the new B&W Signature 800 in a showroom and it sounds richer than the N802.
