Bowers and Wilkins, 801 D4

Hi all, i'm looking to get some new speakers, maybe Wilson audio sasha DAW, or B&W 801 D4, my amp is the Audionet Humboldt integrated , 

Specs & Pricing

Output power: 320Wpc into 8 ohms, 460Wpc into 4 ohms
Frequency response: DC–700kHz -3dB
THD+N: <-100dB at 1kHz
SNR: >120dB (A-weighted)
Channel separation: >140dB, 20-20kHz
Dimensions: 450 x 320 x 505mm
Weight: 61kg
Price: $55,000, i have mk 1  sasha's at the moment, sounds v-good, would my amp have enough grunt , for the B&W,s, they do have two 10" base drivers, on paper they are easier to drive, but as we know in real life, not always the case , i am in England, so Wilsons are £40,000, B&W £32,500, a big difference,  thanks

One fantastic speaker you have overlooked the MBL Loudspeakers 

they not only radiate evenly but their direct connection to the source allows parts of the recording lost in most other speakers I have 2 friends and my brother sold his 1 year old Shasha daws , forthe MBL floorstanders under the 101s 

the efficiency rating is deceiving since it radiates equally the same spl level all around the room ,and pretty much even off axis it has a sweet spot a Fantastic Loudspeaker ,every one of their models has the same carbon fiber tweeter and midrange. I am hoping to buy a pair next year they are that good.after 3 decades I found a true reference , a high current Amp is all they ask .
