I 2nd the no vk 60 recommendation. And I'm a big bat fan. With yoiu being used to a big solid state amp, and those b&w's, not likely a good match. If you can you with 2 vk60's in mono...I bet that will work great. If you want better bass extension and control, a VK75se will give it to you in spades. You might be able to get by with a single 75se...it matches all the characteristics your asking for....I've owned both.
