spending that much on amps for speakers that can be bettered by current speakers for a few thousand dollars is audio system way out of balance to me. The 801 was a force in its day, and certainly still can play quite loud with power, but in terms of transparency and resolution, it is not competitive today with speakers for a few thousand dollars - which coupled with amps at that price would also make no sense. By today's standards, the 801's are tremendously colored.
