703 poweramp..what to choose?

Hi!

What poweramplifier do you recomend for the B&W 703's? I have a Denon 3805 which will be used as a pre-amp/processor.

How much are you looking to spend?

Rotel 200w would be a good match
I do something similar with the 3805 currently and a 7x185w poweramp

tommy_sn,

I've got the B&W CDM 9NTs, which are basically the predecessor to the 703s, and am running with an Adcom 7700. This amp is 5 x 175W, and does an excellent job driving the 9NTs. I started by adding it as an external amp to my Pioneer receiver ('cause the receiver couldn't handle the 9NTs), then upgraded the receiver to a Rotel RSP-1068. Haven't looked back on the Rotel/Adcom combination yet...
