B&W 801 Matrix III...which amp to use??

I had those very speakers. I had good results with the following amps. Aragon 8008BB - (probably won't sound as you want.)
Krell KSA 250 - Great stuff! Krell FPB 400cx - GREATER stuff!!. I would say go with a "Class A" amp 250 wpc or better (depending on the size of your room) and it will drive them nicely.
good luck.

Have you considered the CJ MF2500A. 240W should make
your 801's happy and it does have a tubish like
sound. Another consideration would be a Sonographe
SA 400. 200W and they can be had for less than
a kilo buck on the used market.

Good luck

For the price, the Parasound JC-1 can't be ignored.

Thanks guys! Keep them coming. I am also using biwire
AZ Satori's, if anyone thinks there may be a better
match cable wise please include your opinions.
I like what lies beneath in these speakers, I just need
to have more bass control & volume for starters. Imaging,
depth, & soundstage are almost there.

The Classe amps are great with B&W's, very smooth and not harsh at all. I would go with a CA-300, CA-301, but the 400 or 401 will be a little better. I'm using a CA-400 with my B&W N802's and it's terrific.
