805n B&W speakers. What to pair them best with?


I own a pair of 802n B&Ws and after many months of switching out equipment and tweaking I finally reached a point where I’m very happy. That said I spent triple what I thought it would take too. 
So I recently acquired the 805n speakers and to my surprise my current system did not make these speakers shine the way it works on the 802. Any suggestions on what you guys have these hooked up to for the best sound?

@mckmxcv Silly as this sounds I want them on my desk on either side of my pc about 5ft apart. Yes I know that’s not ideal. However I tried them in my main system first with Bryston 7B st amps 600watts per block and my direct stream ps audio dac also being used as a Preamp. I know they can’t compare to my much bigger 802 towers but I was expecting them to be a little more revealing and not as muddy as they ended up sounding. I ended up popping them on my desk anyway and hooked them up to my 250watt per channel Yamaha and the sound is about the same not that I expected much from the Yamaha either. 
@ mental Thanks for the tips I’ll check out that Bryston 135
