Hi gents. Looking for some suggestions on an amp for my B&W 1400'S. Tried a Yamaha AX-497 80 w per channel , Yamaha RX-A820 100 watts per channel and Pioneer VSX-D704S 160 watts per channel.  All 8 ohm. Still a junior in the game so please be gentle[emoji6].  I have had a NAD 3325 PE
https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/nad/3225pe.shtml which I really enjoyed the sound of  the NAD ( probably way underpowered for the B&W'S)  Any suggestions on a good match to bring out the best of  the B&W'S? I'm not rich so please keep that in mind. would like to hear from owners of the B&W's that had good matches.

I feel that they are not being driven properly and they are capable of more.

Music, Pearl Jam, The Highway men, Black sabbath, Led Zeppelin,  Chris Rea, Willie Nelson, Kiss Kristofferson, Jethro Tull, Earth etc[emoji6]

Many thanks.
Gareth
