Sim Audio W-5 Amp With B&W N802 Speakers

I am considering B&W N802 speakers and was hoping someone has heard the combination, and is this enough power, I currently have Talon audio Peregrine speakers and with some hearing loss they don't provide enough detail, so far B&W has what I need.

Thanks for the help maybe I should listen to the new Talons before making a decision, I would also apprecitate any comments on other speakers to listen to that are more detailed.

I have a pair of 802s (replaced a set of 804s).

I have a Proceed AMP5. It worked great for the 804s. They worked 'OK' with the 802s as is, but were not where they needed to be.

I ended up bi-amping them with the AMP5, and that has made a world of difference.

Not a direct answer to your questions, but just some info based on my experience.

You should try the Wilson Sophia speakers, it may be the best speakers under $20K other than the JM Lab Mezzo. It is better in the bottom end definitely. Mezzo may be more transperent in upper but the equipment for my audition and comparison is not up to par also.
As for the amp. W5 is good but should also try Pass X250, should be perfect match for Sophia.
