B&W 801 questions

I just acquired a nice pair of B&W 801 F. Pre matrix and sealed bass box. They sound great. Powering them with a ARC VT100 which even though they can take more power and are not efficient, play more than loud enough for me as I listen mostly at night at low levels. Looking for advise on upgrades. Perhaps with the crossover, either replacing the caps or some sort of external (north creek) type. Would be nice if these had Bi-Wire ability but I don't want to invest thousands. Thank you Vdosc  (System | Threads | Answers | This Thread) 02-06-12
