Default Accuphase Integrated & B&W 805s - A good pairing?

Hi All

I've been thinking of moving away from my tube set up (McIntosh C220/MC2102) for some time now. I always have the option of swapping out the MC2012 with a solid state from McIntosh but one of my local dealers (only a 5 minute walk from my house!) carries the Accuphase line.

I've visited often and have been eyeing the E series of integrated amps. Looks like I'd settle on the E-370 for budget reasons.

I'd be pairing the E-370 with my B&W 805s. Changing the speakers is not really an option.

I was wondering if they'd be a good match or if it's a case of "OMG this will not work!"

I was also wondering, how well are their phono boards regarded?

How about SQ in general from the E series?

Of course I'll be doing any demos before any purchasing but I always like to get opinions from fellow aficionados

Eddie
