Chazz I'm not saying "I'm right & you're wrong", however when I had my 805'S' I found this not to be the case. I tried a couple of amps and thought the best match was a Classe integrated (but that was 5K). At first I was pleased with it but found any long term listening was still too bright for me.
I didn't have room treatments which might have helped. I really wanted to like the 805s but ended up moving on. If I had it to do over I'd have tried tubes as I never listen real loud.
I'd like to hear the new 805D to see if it is more 'forgiving'.
but B&W is pretty forgiving
