Yes, I am looking forwad to matching my components better. I chose B&W805s over Sonus faber cremona auditors 18 months back because I prefered airy and forward sound - which is consistent with your "aggressive" comment of B&W speakers. I still prefer that sound although have a better appreciation of more reserved/back-row-seat sound (more relaxing to listen to). Cable is another element I'm interested to play with more some time down the track. I have Kimber cables now and just got some QED silver anniversay xt cables (not expensive and supposedly good value) for a different system.

I am ruling out Classe CAP2100 amp for now since I listened to it (via 805s and then 802D) and while enjoyable did not like it that much in combination with Classe cd player (which I suspect was the component I did not agree with).

I will try and compare Diablo with BAT V300 (probalby not direct head to head but at least with a constant reference) and decide between those two in the coming weeks. DLK made a direct/relevant comment that BAT amp is understood to be superior to i-7 and Rowland. This is exactly what I was looking for since it is hard to compare amps side by side here in HK.
