No need to apologize at all - I enjoy these discussions and the things I pick up along the way! I actually own B&W805s. I assume these are more efficient than N805 from your comments.
I listened again to Diablo yesterday (couldn't help myself) at the shop where it is broken in. Both cdp and speakers are high-end (called "Solution"). The sound was awesome on Don Mclean disc. The disc is old and a vocal rather falt (but decent) but instruments good. And that set up really brought out the details. Layers of sound and intruments shingled and cascaded over the wide soundstage.
I was also thinking of trying out Luxman - since someone here said to try Accuphase. They have 590A and the non-class-A model in the same shop. Will search for BAT again in a shop with other integrated too. Looks like my search is dragging out! :) Frustrating but fun - and always a bonus to learn along the way!
