Rotel, Odyssey, or Classe with N805's

I am looking for an amplifier to add to my HT/2 ch system. I currently have B&W N805's that are being powered by a Rotel RMB 1075 (120 wpc) and a Rotel 1066 pre/pro and a modded Sony 999es. I listen to vocal Diana Krall, Norah Jones,etc and "adult alternative" John Mayer, Jack Johnson, DMB. I have heard the Rotel with the B&W's. Can anyone give some input on the Odyssey Stratos with B&W, I will using the Rotel as a pre or the Classe CAP151 integrated or CA 200 amp.

Thanks

The Stratos "sound" would be on the warm side of neutral, the Classe (note however: judging by their bigger models) on the slightly colder side of neutral.
The Stratos will try to favour midbass/bass energy, the Classe treble energy.
Good luck!
