I agree with both Ohlala and Foreverhifi.
I listen to a lot of Classical as well and the B & W's do a great job. (I use CDM-9NTs)
It is curious that the B & W's are lower priced there, while the Paradigms are inflated. Seems that the distance from England or Canada isnt that big of a deal. Could be some trade tariffs or other factors in play that I am unaware of.
Anywho, if it is only a 500 difference from S100s to N804s, I can tell you simply, that the N804s would be in my trunk on the way home.
I was using a Rotel 976 and 1075 to power my CDM-9NTs, I liked the setup well.
Last but definately not least, these are just my opinions, you would be best served by letting your own ears decide.
