    B&W Nautilus 800 vs Krell Resolution 1

    Hi everyone!
    I'm just wondering if anyone ha'd the chance to compare this to speakers. I currently own Krell Res 1 wich replaced B&W N802 and to make it short I can say that I want a speaker with the dynamics of Krell and refinement of B&W, would the biggest B&W do this for me ?

    Cheers Johan!

    You would listen BW 801D. Used they would cost the same as N800 (around USD12K)

    For my taste they are best B&W i ever heard, and for my experience is at the same level of the Watt Puppy 7 for example. :T

      Johan, perhaps your amplifier can't deliver enough into the N802 to make them dynamic? Is the Krell an easier load for the amp?
