I have a McIntosh 4300V receiver (100 wats per channel into 4 or 8 ohms). It's about 15 years old, and I was wondering whether its amp would be sufficient enough to run a pair of Nautilus 804's. I understand from the threads that the Mac separate amps would work great, but I'm wondering whether this would hold true for my Mac receiver as well. Thanks for the input...

Do you have the 804's now, or you are going to buy them? -
I plan on buying them. I can get my hands on a pair for about $1200, which seems too good to pass on.Anthem AVM30, Sherbourn 5/1500A, B&W CDM 7NT/CNT/SNT, B&W ASW CDM (HT); McIntosh 4300V, B&W 1NT, ASW 675 (Stereo)Comment

I'm curious about a test I want to do. So I would like to get people's opinion about this test.
I have $4-5k budget that I have to improve my B&W Nautilus 805/HTM2 setup. I currently have a Marantz SR7002 AV receiver powering them.

I used to own a pair of B&W 703s and drove it with a McIntosh MA6500 solid state amp. It sounded great in a 12 x 12 room (9ft ceilings); more power than I could most of the time.
I had always planned on trading up to the 804s, but through an odd fluke, the dealer allowed me to go...
