Picking a speakers

Hi guys, I need your opinion on which speakers to pick. I recently purchased a 2 Bowers and Wilkins 805S and HTM2 for a center channel. I read somewhere that they don't match. And would need to get HTM4S to match 805S. Now, my question is: Should I purchase HTM4S and stick with 805S or should I purchase 804N and stick with HTM2? PS: I do have a nice velodyne servo subwoofer, so the bass is not my problem.Thank you in advance!

It's similar to Oppo 203 quality. Sadly I just sold my Oppo here on Audiogon. When I'm ready to buy something, it will be used. I have 3 B&W CDM series speakers for sale now. When I sell it, then I can think of buying something.

I agree with the Rotel amps & preamp choices since I'm quite familiar with their units. Although I have several different amp/preamp setups including vacuum tubes I still enjoy the clean sound of the Rotel 1590 Mk II series.

To answer your asking question about speakers .....I like the Sonus Faber Sonetto 3's for about $4k . I actually liked the 3's more than the Sonetto 5"s when I listened to them at the dealer some years ago. The 3's have a very nice balance of sound with midrange detail and no sharp high end since I'm sensitive to listener fatigue.

Hi again guys. I see some Classe CAV-150 amp for sale. It is 150w/ 6ch or 300w/ 3ch bridged. Or I could just bi amp?  Will this amp be a good match for 805s? And what budget pre amp should I be using if I go this route? Thanks
