Amp for B&W 805 D3

Thanks for the comments, what do you think of the Mark Levinson 5805?

Try the new NAD M33. Streamer,dac, dirac all in one unit.

“I mainly like the warm and detailed sound.”

I highly recommend Accuphase Integrated E-650. You can pick up a used one for under $9K. 

I've had 805s for a while and I really love how they sound, at least for my taste, it's very subjective

I mainly like the warm and detailed sound.

This makes me wonder why you’re considering the 805 D3?  There are many other excellent options that would seem to better cater to your tastes. 

I would check out the AVM A5.2.  The base unit lists at $5995 and you can add is a DAC (+$600) and Phono (+$600) via optional.  

This is a German brand that is more popular in the EU than it is here but is brilliant equipment.  The 5.2 has a proprietary tube made just for AVM in its input stage that is designed to last for 30,000.  This is not rollable, never really wears out, but gives the amp a touch of warmth that is perfect with speakers that are a hair forward like B&W.  Plenty of power to control the 805 D3s driver.

I am an AVM dealer but also sell forward speakers that compete very directly with those 805D3s.  PM if you are interested.  

thanks for the suggestion, I am looking for an integrated I will take it into account

Do you already have a preamp or you're looking for an integrated amplifier? If an integrated, I've heard those speakers paired with Mark Levinson No. 5805 and they sounded very good. All you need is a streamer, a good coax cable to utilize the ML internal DAC, and a pair of good speaker cables to build a wonderful (and compact) system.

Hi, I mainly like the warm and detailed sound.
I usually listen to jazz and classical.
What do you think of the Hegel 390 or Krell K300i?
A friend of mine recommends the Luxman LX-380

What sound characteristics do you value most?
