B&W 805 SIGNATURES - PLEASE HELP

HI, I HAVE VERY LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF ELECTRONICS AND DESPEATLEY NEED SOME ADVICE. I HAVE A SET OF 805 SIGNATURES THAT I LOVE I'M CURRENTY DRIVING THEM WITH A SET OF QUAD II ANIVERSARY POWER AMPS AND USING A CREEK PASSIVE PRE AMP.
QUESTIONS
1) AM I IN ANY DANGER OF DAMAGING THE SPEAKERS OR AMPS BY USING SUCH UNDER POWERED AMPS (CLIPPING OR DAMAGE TO THE AMPS TRANSFORMERS).
2) WHAT AMPS SHOULD I USE / SHOULD I FORGET TUBES.
3) IF YOU HAD THIS KIT WHAT WOULD YOU DO, I'D LIKE TO KEEP THE 805'S
I LIKE A WARM BUT DYNAMIC SOUND, I REALISE I MIGHT BE ASKING FOR TOO MUCH, LIKE THE MOON ON A STICK...
ANY REPLYS GREATFULY ACCEPTED... AND PLEASE REMEMBER I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THE NUMBERS, MANY THANKS

THANKS LLOYD,
SOME REAL EXOTIC STUFF IN THERE. WILL HAVE TO SELL THE QUAD II'S TO FUND THE BUY. THAT SHOULD GIVE ME AROUND £2000 OR $3000 TO SPEND, I CAN TOP THAT UP A LITTLE BRINGING ME TO A BUDGET OF AROUND $4000 OR £3500. I'LL BE LOOKING AT 2ND HAND PURCHASE FROM e-BAY OR REPUTABLE DEALER AND DON'T MIND BLOWING THAT TOTALLY ON THE POWER AMP/AMPS, AND UPDATING THE PRE LATER. COULD YOU SUGGEST ANY UK BUILT AMPS, I'M UK BASED AND USING A UK MANUFACTURER MAKES IT EASY FOR SERVICE AND BACK-UP. HAVE YOU HEARD OF GLEN 'CROFT ACOUSTICS' HE BUILDS TUBE AMPS AND TUBE/TRANNY HYBRIDS HE'S FROM MY HOME TOWN.
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME, MANY TANKS ADAM BILLS
