Anybody Driving B&W 805D3 With Firstwatt F6


If so, I'd like to hear your thoughts.  I built a clone, and love it on my Klipsch RP600Ms.

Thanks.  I hope so, too.  My listening room is super-small, so that's going to help; as is the fact I'm in an apartment and want to get along with my neighbors :)  Should I make it into a space where I can listen however I'd like to, I'd consider other amplifier options if necessary.  I do love this F6 clone, though.
I ended up getting the 805D3's, and the F6 drives them quite well in my space!  I am bi-amping, using an Aleph-J on the tweeters; but I tried with just the F6, and was happy with that as well.

I can't test for top SPL, out of fear of getting kicked out of my apartment :)   It seems, though, that this would play as loud as I'd ever want.

And, oh, the clarity and separation of instruments!  Highly recommended. 
Arcticdeth, that really depends on the size of your room, and efficiency and impedance of your speakers.

805 D3's are rated at 88dB @1 watt/1 meter.  They don't drop below R4.6.
