b&w 802 n to what speaker

My room is about 25 feet by 20 feet with 8 feet high ceiling. I am using a ayre vlxe amp. Before the b&w 802n ,i was using the b&w 801 series 2. I would not call 802n bass shy, but the old 801 had a deeper more muscular bass. The highs of 802 are not bad but does not seem to be as clean as the 802 diamonds. My cousin is trying to convince me to biamp with active external crossovers. I have no electrical knowledge and this seems to be a fairly expensive upgrade as well (another amp,crossover and cables). I have thought of salons 2 but I read somewhere that they don't work too well with ayre amps.

Have you by chance considered a used Wilson Watt Puppy 7/8 or the newer Wilson Sophia 3s ?

The N802s rock and will easily produce bass that will cause neighbors to complain. I am using my 802s with a Sunfire theater receiver.

Moving up to another speaker level, well I think you have many options, the Revels as suggested are a good suggestion. Perhaps something like the Magneplanars 3.6 or 20.1 would be interesting for you.

Is there anyone who could elaborate on the active crossover or replacement crossover for the B&Ws. I have 800s and would be interested in doing a crossover upgrade as well.

My cousin has 1 pair of N800 and 1 pair of 800d. On the 800d he is using the pass lab electronic crossover. He is using pass lab x1000 for the bass and x350.5 for mids and highs. He said he was using the cross over points and slopes b&w were using. For the N800 he is using the bryston electronic crossover. He said the pass lab was better but the bryston was still very good. I have not had time to go over to hear his speaker but he raves at how much better it is going active.
