Amp for B&W 805 Matrix

[sonicsway]

Hi all,
can you advice me a good integrated amp for a pair of B&W 805 Matrix? I know they are hungry of current and watts, due to their low sensitivity (87dB). I was thinking of something like Cambridge, NAD, Rotel, but I'm open to any suggestion. My room is about 4.5m x 3m and speakers are on the short side of the room, 0.5 meters close to the wall.
Thanks a lot

Figure at least 125 to 150 WPC.

Denon PMA...?

Cambridge? Nope. You need something like a Luxman R-117

Or Marantz PM8006? Would 70W@8ohm/100W@4ohm, be enough?

I've heard some Youtube demos of the Cambridge CXAs, they always sound quite bright, also according to others in the comment section of the video. With speakers with a metal tweeter like the B&Ws the risk of having piercing and harsh trebles is high. These speakers probably need a rounder and warmer amp. Does the Luxman R117 do that?

Musical Fidelity and B&W pair well together.

Used A3 or A5 integrated amps would be a sweet combo.

The speakers aren't really hard to drive with average sensitivity and impedance above 5 ohms (higher below 100 Hz), the EQ bass boost is pretty mild.
How much power will depend on your listening levels and the type of music you listen to.
I think any of the integrated amplifiers that you have mentioned should do well as long as you're not using the system in a night club.

Thanks for the heads up, but I tend to stay away from any amp that has volume as the only potentiometer.
Ideally I'd like something with separate treble and bass controls. I know, many modern integrated amps only have volume and a few buttons, but I prefer something I can adjust to my listening environment and personal taste.

Absolutely not, otherwise I would have bought two 3-ways JBL or Pioneer I always listen at moderate volumes, but I would like to have a pleasant listening experience without ear fatigue.
