The possible issue with current B&W models is they tune for a 'showroom' response, depending on your taste in presentation this could get a bit wearing over time.

Don't know if you are looking for large or small speakers, these ones are amongst my favourite era of B&W back when they designed for a flat response:

Or a lot cheaper:

Cheers, Martin, but I’m really looking for floorstanders.

The B&W speakers Martin linked to will be excellent. To drive them I'd be inclined to try one of these. It's the same one my brother drives his B&Ws with, which it does without breaking sweat. Built like a tank too.

I gave my old B&W speakers (DM603 S1) to my mate, who runs them with a 70s Sony 30wpc integrated, and they sound not exactly shit, but dynamically dead. No wonder he prefers watching telly these days. Convinced me that having an amp with more than enough welly super important.

Nice, but no optical inputs.

I’m thinking more and more that I’m better off sticking with what I have and maybe look at moving up the Clearaudio ladder.

Thanks, chaps…all the suggestions have been very helpful.
