The Threshold shouldn't be matched with any speaker that leans towards the bright side. And you did mention your Yamaha's preamp may be contributing to any brightness. What surprises me is that combination worked fine with your original B&W's.
I don't know which model Yamaha you have, but I would think a dedicated pre-amp should help things sound better all around. And maybe, just maybe, help the 801's sound better.
The ADS or Infinity's you mention in your new thread may be the answer without changing out your Yamaha.
Best "old classic" matches for your amp would be 80's Infiniity, KEF, VMPS, Martin Logan, Apogee and Magneplaner lines. That's quite a range, and fortunately you are lucky to have an amp that can run the required impedance loads.
Sounds like you are purchasing without having the opportunity to preview. Would be really good if you can borrow product to audition.
Cheers!
