RE: Power Amps for B&W Matrix 801 II

How about the old Carver Sunfire. A friend who built his own tube gear for decades(usually push/pull triode with no feed back) that were very smooth heard them and stopped playing with tubes. They are either about 300 or 600 watts a channel into 8 ohms and they double to 4 ohms and again to 2 ohms indicating a big power supply that doesn't get drained. So they'll play loud, handle huge transients without clipping even at high average levels, even into inefficient speakers and they sound like good solid state that kissed a tube amp. It could be what you're looking for.
