multichannel amplifier for B&W 805 S

Battu

I'm running the ARcam 350 on 803S, HTM3S and CRMS and it's a killer musical combination, in some ways a giant beating combination with great inner detailing and musicality. Do I wish for more power, yes, but you could spend a lot more money for less quality sound. I do like the theory that Brit gear works well with it's ilk!

Babbu,
I would take Bryston over the Arcam anyday. Bryston amps are quite a good match with the 805S and will offer more power and grunt compared to the softer-sounding Arcam. Later you might want to add the matching SP1/2 processor and you have a great system that is equally at home with music and movies.

I can see some are happy with their ARcam driving B&W's, so it all boils down to personal preference in the end.

Question: With primary emphais on music, is it best to run the 805s with: 1)Arcam 350 2) used Classe CA 200 - 2 channel or 3) new rotel amps (bi-amped).

Differing price point for sure, but I plan to build over time.
