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.

I had a pair of 802 D3s powered by a CODA 16. Very nice pairing, but the CODA was a tad too neutral (I prefer a little more warmth). The CODA has tremendous power reserves and easily tamed the bass of the B&Ws. I didn't audition but would love to hear a Gryphon Diablo 300 through your speakers. I heard the Gryphon through a pair of Rockports and could not believe the incredible bass. 

More recently, I heard the new B&W D4s with a Luxman M10X. Glorious combination!! Also, don't rule out the Rotel Michi products. My dealer recommended the brand over the Luxman M900U (he sells both!)
