B&K powering Spendor?


Primary question: How would a B&K Ref 200.3 or other B&K amp mate with a pair of Spendor 1/2's and a Spendor C5e center? I have been running this combo with an older Sony 777ES amp. It's time to upgrade and I want to move past the consumer grade stuff. I'll use the Sony as a pre for now but wanted to upgrade the power amp first.
I welcome your thoughts/suggestions. This system is running my video and audio system, including a Clearaudio turntable. I'll address the pre and phono stage later. The rears will run off of the Sony for the time being. I have no space for more speakers (WAF) so condider this a 5.1 system.
Thanks,
Jack

I have been using Spendor since 1970 with so many different amps I can't remember a fraction of them. I have observed two things: 1 they are not very critical of amps, but 2 they will sound better as you raise the quality of amp. I am currently using Musical Fidelity NuVista M3 and Meridian 605s, 275 and 150 watts respectively. I drove them with early Krell [KSA 50 and 100, KMA 100] when I was a Krell dealer.
