“What is the best amp, let us forget $ for a second. Lit. says 50 watts to 120, into 8Ohms, so that means a Mc150, or Pass Labs, XA60.8 {2}, the XA30.8 at 30 per isn't going to be enough?”

I would get the Rotel RA-1572. Rotel is a sister company to B&W and the Integrated Amplifier was designed with B&W speakers in mind. The Amp has 2 x 120W output and the B&W 805 D3 is rated 50-120W at 8 Ohms ... You do not want to overpower your speakers...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.the 805 is a relatively inefficient speaker compared to most. All of those amps mentioned in your question are of high current design and can easily power these speakers. the Nelson Pass amp is underrated; it can deliver the needed power with plenty of headroom. An aside, Ive never heard of over powering speakers with too much amp. That is a first.
