Michele,
One of the best choices!! Lucky Guy
Did you take a look at the http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/1205bw/index4.html
Impedance: 4 to 16 Ohms
For me A pure class A 160 Watts/ch amplifier is the same as a 300Watts/ch class AB amplifier.
Running a little hot, but all you ever dreamed of!
Regards.

Being that the B&W's are relatively current hungry, I think you would be better off with the earlier X Class AB designs, the X.5 designs, or the XA.5 designs.
Too many choices here. Between X350.5 and XA100.5, whats your call - Nelson for the 802s?
Room size is 14 x 16 Ft (dedicated room). Music is Classical, Acoustic Jazz, some 60s, 70s & 80s rock. Don't listen as obscene levels. Like my music with a touch of warmth..... And a huge soundstage with realistic width & depth.
Cheers!

Hi Nelson
Here's a question purely for academic reasons to a designer of some of the greatest amps
For a speaker like B&W 800D, what would be your best choice from the choices below:
1. Using a pair of X600.5 in bi-wire
2. Using a pair of XA160.5 in bi-wire
3. Using a pair of X350.5 in vertical bi-amp.
Further, would you say a pair of XA100.5 images & soundstages better than the stereo amp X350.5?
Would really appreciate to hear from you.
