I heard the Jadis 845 once against the Nagra. Even though Nagra puts out twice as much power by using 2x 845 tubes, there was no comparison - Jadis has better everything except sheer volume. The SE magic was abundant to the point I thought Nagra sounded like a cheap tube amp. Jadis will be my choice if my speakers can be driven by the low output power.
I heard lots of good thing about Cary 805, but haven't heard it with my own ears.
But biggest question is will any of the amp you are considering be able to drive B&W?
