Can a Rotel RA-1520 power B&W's 804s'


I can afford a pair of used 804s' or a new pair of CM9s. I am piecing together my first half decent stereo and already purchased a Rotel RA-1520 integrated amp. I listen to classical and Jazz at low to moderate levels and would like to purchase a pair of speakers that will get me closest to nirvana knowing that I may still have a long way to go. Audio etc .com recommends the 805D's paired with my amp which I question however, I need some expert advice or information on where to get expert advice. Thank you.

I was interested in the B/W CM9 and took a RA-1520 with me to audition.
After aprox. 10 minutes of listening to Robert Plant´s Raising Sand the amplifier shut down ´cause it protected itself. BTW while it lasted it was fantastic, love those speakers.
From what i have heard CM7 are ideal.

Good Luck
