I use tubes with Nautilus 800's with no problems. I have 140 watt mono-blocks with seperate external high capacitance power supplies. The 802's should not be much different in power requirements, in fact I also own 802's. Unless you need absolute nose bleed volumes, tubes will work great. I would really take what anyone says about speakers not working with tubes with a grain of salt because no one else knows besides you if it really will work, try it out for your self before you validate any decisions either for tubes or against for any speaker, I think you will be surprised with the outcome. Compare the solid state amps to the tubes with a variety of music to make your decisions. I was dead set on a pair of ML33's or a pair of the newer 436's, but after listening to tubes with the N800's, I was sold, even my wife said it was night and day in the way the music was portrayed for the better with these tube amps I am using.
