Build some good subs out of some old cabinets, then get a good preamp and amp to control them separately. It works for my older 803's. B&W tends to sacrifice bass output for accuracy. Your speakers are great, but B&W also prices their speaker so high that we need a dedicated listening room of the exact size, or smaller, for them to function properly. .In my bedroom, my speaker sound awesome, but in my main 35 x 25 room, with 14 foot ceilings, I need extra bass on most recordings.
Time align the subs with the speakers by measuring the drivers. The center of the sub magnet should be parallel with the center of your 802 woofer magnets.I did have Classe electronics (A bunch of it that was given to me), did not prefer it to my Audire, especially in the bass, I could have been perfectly happy with it. Ditto for my gift Bryston pre-amp (Now on TV system), which was pretty much bassless with my subs, both with the Bryston and Audire amps, so that is another thing to try out.
Another thing? Do you have tone controls? I do not, but with one of the Classe preamps, it worked well with some bass boost.
