Amp for B&W 805 D3

I am considering acquiring a pair of B&W 805 D3 and in the light of this I’m in the process of due dilligencing what amp to choose. I am unfortunately not in the position where I have the luxury to test the various amps I have been recommended by the dealer.

To give you some background - I will mostly be listening via Tidal HD / Spotify / Amazon HD. I am looking to spend around $ 7000 - 10000 for the amp.

Thanks

I mainly like the warm and detailed sound.
This makes me wonder why you’re considering the 805 D3?  There are many other excellent options that would seem to better cater to your tastes.

I've had 805s for a while and I really love how they sound, at least for my taste, it's very subjective

“I mainly like the warm and detailed sound.”

I highly recommend Accuphase Integrated E-650. You can pick up a used one for under $9K.
