Can you separate the A/V gears from Audio only? If not, compromises must be made: -Provide clean 2 channel power amp for your B&W -Provide clean Dolby Digital Pre for AV w/ bypass mode for 2 channel Audio only listening (a way to just control volume, no surround processing). These tend to be expensive i.e Lexicon etc. -I recommend at least 200W/ch for B&W (I bi-amp my N802 w/ 2 Nakamichi PA-7s, for total 400W/ch, quite an improvement from single amp) -Experiment with speaker placement, I am happiest with them being 4 feet out from the rear wall, as measured to front baffles, voices become fully fleshed out and rounded, full body sound, deep bass improved as well, you may not need a sub! -At their best placement fed with clean power, you will prefer it for music over artificial surround sound system. -Surround sound work great for movies, not so good for music.
