ARCAM compared to Krell


I have ARCAM P 7 and AV 8. I looked at the Krell components and what to know if any one out there has compared these. I am in a very confusing state of mind any input will be appriciated.

The P7 is just 125 watts per channel. I am thinking of buying the B&W 802's and the 125 watts will not be ablw to drive them. I totally love the ARCAM stuff the musice is extraordinay and very worm, even the krell monoblocks cant give this much wormth. But my onl problem is power. The dimentions of ARCAM are also perfect.
The only Problem here is that I will have 5 B&W's, The 805's are very happy wiht this amp. I put in the HTM1 and the sound really went down as compared to the HTM2. Now I do not have the HTM 2 any more and because of that I am going up to the 802's, the HTM 1 really overwhelms all the other speakers. I am using Transparent Reference MM technology cables for the front 3 channels. The 802's will also be connected to the same cables and they are 8 ohmes. the interconnects are Transparent Reference MM 75 ohmes which connect the Processor and the amp. I am using the DV 29 as my DVD player and the Shanling T 200 as the CD player. The CD is connected also in the same manner. So when I am playing my CD player only 2 channesl are working.
I would love to get a recommendation form you on which other can be used. I have not used the Krells but have read that they are good on sound but do not give that musch wormth. Please provide your input.
I had the Krell TAS as the AMP in mind. I would stick with the ARCAM DV 29. I wanted to keep the AV 8 too but will move to the Krell HTS. I wanted to drive my HTM 1 and the 802's with some more power. B&W's require a lot of power.
Thank you all.

I changed my system to the T+A stuff. I got the ARCAM at first. T+A is amazing stuff
