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 ?????

still very, very, very good by todays standards.... that cannot be said of the majority of speakers that are 8-10 years old...

they are very revealing and need clean, muscular amp to drive them...

one of my favorite speakers of all time....
