B&W Nautilus 802 or Krell Resolution 2

If you like what you hear from the B&Ws go with them.You cant go wrong with B&Ws.Ive changed amplification 6 times wound up happy with my Krell mono blocks never would change the 802s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMHO,

If you go for the Krell's go for the bigger pair. Personally I found it to be a far superior speaker.

FYI; I own the B&W 800's

Sorry I can't compare the two but your room size is critial. I have 802's in a 15' x 26' room and they wook great. I always buy what I like with the realization that they have very good resale value. I bet you can buy a black pair in great shape for $4000. You can have them for tow years and still get $3200. That way you can always upgrade later.

Yes, resale is a very important consideration as is asthetics, both have kept me from buying the Revel F50 and Focal.JMlab 936/946. The Krell Resolution 2 has been offered to me through two different Dealers at deep discounts (near-used-prices), which bothers me when you consider the fact that B&W Dealers have all to do to knock-off 10% off retail, if that, most sell 800-Series at full-retail and won't even consider discounting. Also, since 1999 I've never read one negative sentence about the Nautilus 802, the speaker has an impeccable reputaton among the Hi-Fi press/professionals. BTW: I've owned both the N803 & N804,I'm just trying to branch-out a bit on this next purchase.
