How 'bout this?

Since your speakers are REALLY power hungry buy the biggest SS amp that you can afford (think McIntosh, Accuphase, Krell) at least 175 wpc, but you can't have too much. Then listen to a variety of tube pre-amps such as Cary or Manley. This will give you a smooth tube sound with the required power that the B&Ws demand. I would buy used, especially in the power amp. A lesser quality amp or a lower powered amp will not bring out the best that those speakers have to offer.
I really liked how those sound, but the required amplification was more than I wanted to spend.
Baba-Booey to you all!
