Building a 2-channel audio system using Bowers & Wilson 800D3 speakers


Starting to build a new 2-channel audio system, the speakers are used Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 speakers. Looking for advise from this forum on which Amps, pre-amp, cables, interconnects, line filters, streaming device ect... I should consider.

B and W speakers have always mated well with warm SS amps.  Classe, AR, Parasound.  When I upgraded my B and W 802N electronics I went from Classe to Audionet, andi it was stunning, so that means ignore previous comment!  Audionet are not warm or dull at all, just not fatiguing.  Avoid bright silver cables.

Oh that looks like a beast! Budget for a streamer?  You will get lots of options.

Auralic Aries....Roon?  Lots of other threads on streamers.  Do you want something small like an ifi or Zen or component size with display?  Might not be able to see a display anyway with those big meters!  :)  Streamers do matter, get a nice one.
