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.

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.

They don't drop below R4.6.
