Integrated for B&W 805 Signatures

I did have a Classe CAP101 (100w/ch) but these speakers sound better at any volume level with more power. They sound much better with 200w/ch, perhaps the 150w/ch would work OK. I was not crazy about the Classe CAP/preamp section in the CAP integrated although some may like the Classe sound. I demoed the McIntosh 6900 (200w/ch & $$) with the B&Ws. I demoed some $3k tube integrateds, no again. I have not tried the newer Musical Fidelity int-amps.

I'm currently using the Krell 400xi. It has 200w/ch, is very queit and, I think, works best with copper cables (<2200 new). Good luck. Al

I agree with the Bryston B100 SST recomendation. It's a good a step up in refinement and musicality from at least two on your list that I have also owned. Any pre-conceived thought on it not being a good match for the sigs would not be from an owner as it is quite nuetral, musically involving, powerful and very open with a sweet top end. It's a great amp.

Classe and B&W are sister companies and the combo of the 805 sigs and the new Classe integrated is pretty darn good, though not my cup of tea. The Classe was better than Sim Audio, YBA and Levinson separates.

Good luck.

I have heard MF A5 with B&W 803 and they sounded very nice. Then they added Classe...and the sound went some notches up.

Sugden Masterclass or Accuphase E530.
A perfect match me thinks.
