I have owned every B&W speaker mentioned and then some. asuming no new version that I am not aware of, the 800d's are by far the best of the group! My room is a simmalar size and demention and the 800d's will work great in your room. My wife l...

At 53, I believe that old ears are more sensitve to harsh sounds. golden ears or not. 
Ayre KX-R or Krell 202 with Martin Logans
i do not understand the question. if you have a krell amp and are happy with it, it is a no brainer, 202 with cast interconectors. now if you are considering an amp change different story.
