Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own

So, would you say the Spendor’s are more particular about amp matching than other speakers? 

I don’t think so?

This is my second system. In a remote area where I had concerns about reliable Internet. I added a turntable station as a result. Quite enjoy the sound. But some digital streaming (started with SONOS) sounded “bright” to me when compare to playing records. A familiar rabbit hole for many. My system then was all Rega including the speakers. I took my time, tried different things and landed up where I am. I enjoy vinyl and streaming now. I would say the Pass Labs and Spendors give a full range sound with a solid sound stage and great detail without unwanted brightness. The combination is rich without being overly warm “pipe and slippers” if you know what I mean. The amp has a little warmth to it but there are no major “hot radiator”concerns, but I live in moderate Washington state. I also liked the smaller Spendor D7 speakers but the D9s had something extra that I knew would work in my larger room. 

My main system is very different: all Akurate Exakt Linn system which sounds amazing. Some might find it clinical? But I enjoy the extra bandwidth of some of the higher resolution albums that I stream from Qobuz. 

the Spendors love a class A or an ultra smooth amp like the OPs Levinson. They do not sound their best with a neutral or slightly forward presentstion.  

They do like power too, their special subwoofer-not-required bass comes from their unique transmission line bottom flared port.  Best bass sounding bass I have heard in a passive speaker.  
The D7.2 /9.2 are truly jack of all trades speakers.  The speed and dynamics of a horn speaker with none of the drawbacks.
My only misgiving with the D7 when I owned them was an occasional too far forwardness on certain recordings.  In hindsight a very minor offense considering their positives.  I should have  kept them.  

My D9s came in the premium limited edition Ebony finish. They look amazing. Quite a narrow speaker but very tall. The footprint on the floor is smaller than many of the wide speakers though. My preference. 
If you buy them new your Spendors will take some time to settle in and sound their best…

@avanti1960 nice to hear that you think the D9’s would match well with my Levinson. It does offer plenty of power. When I heard them, they were placed close to 8’ from the back wall which had room treatments. They weren’t also spread very far apart. The owner told me he took no time to place them and pointed out they were partially on the rug and hardwood floor and they still sounded great. I’ve got someone interested in my B&W’s so maybe I’ll make a move on the D9’s soon.
