I must disagree with the statements above about the B&W's. First, the B&W's are the most expensive speakers on your list. I've owned 802N's and currently own 805N's. In my experience with B&W's, they require good upstream electronics, a lot of power (which you have), and exact placement. I was just shopping around for a new pair of speakers (I got the bug) and listened to about a dozen different different brands and when the dust settled I ordered a pair of 805N signitures. My regular 805N's will be up for sale shortly.
P.s - Last night I had some relatives over and we were watching CSI on the H/T rig in stereo. My brother-inlaw leaned over during a commercial and said "This is in surround sound, I can here things coming from behind me". I smiling and repleid "No, it's called imaging and sounstage", and then I gave him the short lecture on imaging.
