Amplifier for B&W
 
I'm looking for an amplifier and wanted to get your opinions on what would be a good match. I know warmer and smoother usually has better synergy with the B&W sound. Classe, Rotel, and Mcintosh are known to be a good match. Anything else out there that you would recommend? Parasound? The new Brystons? W4S? Thanks in advance for your input.

I am using Classé CA-2200 with 802D2 and really enjoy the sound.

Have not tried brystons, I have had classe cam600 and Cary 211fe monos. I thought that both were good but perhaps the Mac601 is preferred per my extensive auditioning.

The reviews are stellar. Have you heard them with B&Ws. I'm worried they may be a bit to analytical of a combo.

Yes, I have heard them on B&W's definitely not analytical at all.

I have the Pass Labs INT-250 integrated with 803 D2s. Warm sound, wide soundstage, no brittleness at all from the diamond tweeters.

The new Marantz PM 10 is a good option. Have not heard it with B&W, but I know it has been developed with the 800D3. In Munich last year this integrated sounded amazing.
