Amps for 805's

Attention to all B&W 805 owners? I am going for a new overhaul. Tell me, what equipment do you use and why do you like it? What does it sound like? I am one to drool over musically and dynamics, over some cool sound. Also I know about system synergy, and am trying to figure out which pieces work best together.
Thanks

I run my N805's with a Linn Klout amp and a BAT VK 30SE preamp. My CD player is a Arcam CD-23 FMJ. I have had many friendly audiophiles comment on the quality of my system. Most important, it makes me want to listen, without any fatigue. Imaging, focus, detail and midrange voice realism to die for.

I run my 805s with Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and Bryston 4bst. Front end is Muse Model 5 Transport and MSB Link III DAC. The sound is great, but I suspect that both the 805s and the Bryston are on the bright side. You may want to choose a warm/neutral amp to match with the 805s. Also, what price range are you looking at for the amp? If you can spend over $2,000, perhaps the Sim Audio Moon W5 or the BAT VK500 may be worth considering. Best of luck.

Room is about 10ft wide and 33 ft long. Speakers are placed on one side firing width wise. Roof is valted.
Any suggestions?
