Dear Exsg,
In my experience, the B&W 802 D3 is a class above the SF Amati Futura in performance. 802D3 has a bigger sound stage, is easier to match to an amplifier, actually has more of everything. Especially with your amps (601) the 802D3 is much better match. I have heard the SF Amati Futura with those amps and it was nothing special. The friend who had them...sold both after we heard them.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
