New B&W owner

[LikeCoiledSteel]

Hi Guys,
I am new to this site and a new B&W owner. I have a pair of CDM7nt's and a CDMCNT center. I use Polk ls/fx for surrounds. I am using a Krell Kav 250a and Krell Kav250p for 2 channel listening. Great sound. I also use an Outlaw 950 pre/pro and M200 monoblock to push the center.
A Marantz cd5400 cd player for source.

This forum looks great so far. I look forward to chatting with you guys in the future.
best regards,
Jeremy

Welcome.

That's some pretty impressive power for your CDMs. I always figured Krell and Nautilus went hand in hand. I use Rotel gear for my HT and a Classe integrated for my Nautilus 804s. Is it true that Krell brings out the bass better than just about anyone?

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the welcome. In the last month I actually did a major upgrade to my system. I was using some Polk speakers I had for my system with Outlaw M200 monoblocks (200 watts) when I came upon a great deal for the B&W's from a local dealer who was clearancing out the floor models. I ended up paying $1200 for the CDM7NT's and the CDMCNT. I had an Outlaw M200 on all of them and it sounded very good. I have heard from many B&W owners that Rotel was by far the best amp to mate with B&W speakers. Very smooth symetry. I was planning to try a Rotel amp when I cam on another great deal for the used Krell's, so I jumped at it. As many have said, Krell amps are very sounding, punchy but articulate. I think they mate very well with my CDM's. It is a bit of overkil I think because I heard that Krells are underated. Putting 250 watts is probably more around the high 300 watts, to a speaker rated at 150 wattss.But the sound is good. Of course, if I got a great deal on some 800 series, i would take it, sell my cdm's and have the Krells to make them sing. But so far I am very happy with the CDM7nt's and the center. The Krells definatly make the bass better, deeper. Those 804's must sound awesome. Classe and Rotel I think are the same company, and I have heard sound great
with B&W's.
