Classé amps simply can't drive them, it's a very bad match, sounds awful.
B&W recommends Classé amplification

No doubt because B&W owns Classe

Yes, that's why.
But they should start thinking about making those amps compatible with their speakers.

Speaker efficiency at 1Khz is probably all they are good for. So for now I fly by the seat of my pants.

Hi Mark!

I have the Radio Shack 33-2050 meter and it is cheap and ok for in room measurements. You can use it with a test CD or one of many free programs. The meter is not linear, so you have to apply some corrections. I have some info on my webpage:

On that apge there is a link to a free test CD and some free software with built in corrections for the Radio Shack meter.

Cheers,
Gio.
