Please advise on second amp for my B&W 801 S2


Current system: Balanced Audio VK-31SE, BAT CD, B&W 801 S2 BAT VK-500 and Wireworld wires both AMP and Pre.
Looking for help on another AMP for mids and tweeters. I would like to stay with a BAT product and interested in trying a tube AMP vs. SS. Is this a good scenario to trial a VK-55 or 60? I have a large room (28' x 32')and do enjoy filling the space with sound. The 801's are currently on the floor and I have also considered stands? I very much enjoy the sound of the 801's yet feel they would perform better with an additional AMP.Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Dan

Thanks for the comments and info.
The primary reason for my interest in the addition of this VK-60 AMP is increasing overall performance (sonics/how musical, influence on highs and mids). I am also interested in learning how the tube amp handles the additional WATTS.How WATTS influence volume.. My BAT preamp tops out on volume at 140 on the dial, I can comfortably listen at 105. I am not concerned to go louder as much I am interested to see how the additional amp will influence sonics and overall performance.

The VK-500 has a low input sensitivity of 87 ish, so I need to find out the level on the VK-60. I was interested to see if anyone was currently using this combination.
