Hi Arkio, I'm a Simaudio owner, but not of the big boy W5.
I'm running a pair of ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures mini monitors with a Simaudio Moon I-5 integrated, and I'm pretty darn happy. I also have a pair of Sonus Faber Concertinos, but mostly listen to the ProAcs. The scale of my sound is smaller than what you're looking to build, but I'll comment on the overall sonic character.
My I-5 can be a bit on the lean side, but I've counteracted that with Cardas Golden Cross interconnect and Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cable, both of which are very full sounding.
The ProAcs image wonderfully and precisely, and throw a huge soundstage. Overall, the sound is detailed, lifelike, with an enjoyable warmth.
The Sonus Fabers are warmer and fuller sounding than the Tab50s but present a vague soundstage in comparison. Also the Concertinos don't delineate the nuances of instruments and voices as well, but I still enjoy them very much. In my setup, the SFs accentuate the woodiness of acoustic instrument such as guitars.
I hope this helps you some. Good luck!
