Its more likely that the sound from the Rotel Class D amp.is simply not good enough for B & W speakers..

Disbeliever ,
B&W speakers tend to be forward and bright , the exact opposite to sound good on class-D , laid back and soft mates well with class -D , well unless you crave a bright presentation.

Yes you are right B & W 804D has a forward treble &
well lit mid-band.Tweeter output is consistantly high, up by + 6dB around 12kHz producing audible brightness in the treble even a treble sting. HF output borders on the excessive for a so-called high fidelity speaker. it is far from accurate . Incredible that a well known STEREOPHILE reviewer who posts on this Forum likes & uses B & W speakers.

In the industry it was known as B&W house sound , such a broardband lift gives an advantage when listening and comparing brands in the showroom , fatique comes in over a longer period of listening , also if some hearing loss , natural or self inflicted it can be your speaker, this is why their is no one formula based on what people hear or perceive as being real, select the right cables, a soft sounding tooby or high bias class-a ( some high bias class-a can sound soft and polite ) and it just maybe your kind of stout....
Akin to preferring McKinnson over guinness .... :)

I'd have to go searching thru the B&O paperwork, but I don't think they 'like' highly capactivie loads.
Too much is never enough
