Amps for 805's


Attention to all B&W 805 owners? I am going for a new overhaul. Tell me, what equipment do you use and why do you like it? What does it sound like? I am one to drool over musically and dynamics, over some cool sound. Also I know about system synergy, and am trying to figure out which pieces work best together.
Thanks

I run my 805s with Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and Bryston 4bst. Front end is Muse Model 5 Transport and MSB Link III DAC. The sound is great, but I suspect that both the 805s and the Bryston are on the bright side. You may want to choose a warm/neutral amp to match with the 805s. Also, what price range are you looking at for the amp? If you can spend over $2,000, perhaps the Sim Audio Moon W5 or the BAT VK500 may be worth considering. Best of luck.
