How good are the B&W 801...Series 2 Speakers ????


I have been using Pro-ac 2's and 1sc's with a Velodyne ULD15 subwoofer...I would like to use some main speakers that have a little more back-bone....Can't pay much more that 2000.00 so I thought I would buy some B&W 801's. I had a pair of B&W 802's and didn't like them but I have heard good things about the 801's...I have all tube equipment, Audio Research LS-25 line stage and VT-100 power amp, also Audio Research PH-3 phono stage and Rega 25 turntable. I listen to Classical and Blues...What do you think ?????

I'm thinking the problem that I had with the 802's was not enough power and would probably be the same with the 801's. I should be looking for something that is a little more efficient....with only 100 watts of tube power...
Kehut: Thanks for your detailed input , I would like your idea's on other speakers...I leave in a area where it is very hard to listen to speakers and I need to narrow it down a little...........thanks
