Amp to Add Dynamics & Detail to 'Polite' Speakers

thanks for the inputs, all... much appreciated. the gear in play is as follows: B&W 802D speakers, Acoustic Zen Satori speaker wires, Acoustic Zen Silver Reference 2 and Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference 2 ICs, Placette preamp.

sorry about the vagueness of the question - i posted to get general thoughts on moving a system in the direction i'm looking for. any further thoughts given how things are configured would be appreciated.

@ Vicadamone...
interesting you mention nCores, as the NC-400 has been reported as a VERY good match for the 802D speaker. if you don't mind, what speakers were you using them with prior to moving them to your studio?

i was a long time tube amp user - Atma-sphere and VAC - but need to goto solid state or class d for domestic considerstions.

Well i suppose everything is relative. I'm coming from a pair of Wilson speakers and don't find the B&W speakers to be as dynamic and lively.

AC is via 4 dedicated circuits and a running springs conditioner (amps are direct to the wall).

The placette preamp I'm using is the passive version with no compatibility issues in my system that I can tell. I was honestly skeptical at first, but Guy at Placette assured me I wouldn't have any issues given the rest of my system. So I gave it a try and was VERY impressed. It replaced a $5k active preamp.
