I own a pair of the 805 D3 speakers. If you are looking for a great integrated amp, I would recommend the Rogue Sphinx. It is a class D integrated amp that combines tubes with the latest digital technology. The tubes really make the 805's come to life. Nice soundstaging, and better low end response than a solid state integrated amp. The Sphinx will give you 100 Watts of power, which is plenty for the 805's. The Spinx is very reasonably priced as well. Best of luck
How to power the BW 805 D3 speakers
I just bought a pair of Bowers and Wilkins 805 D3 speakers and needed some advice on amplification (I'm pretty new at all this). I use a Marantz SR6009 receiver. It's power ratings are: "The SR6009 features a sophisticated power amplifier section with all 7 high current amp channels configured identically. Each channel is rated at 110 watts (8 ohms, 20 Hz~20 kHz, .08%THD), and all channels are rated to drive lower impedance 4 ohm speakers. The advanced Eco amplifier mode adjusts power consumption according to signal level, and there's an on-screen Eco Mode display that lets you see the power consumption reduction in real time." Bowers says the "recommended amplifier power is 50W-120W 8 Ohms on unclipped programme." I guess my question is will my Marantz work well for these?
