I like B&W 804d3 very much (with D200). Last year I auditioned B&W 804d3 against Sonus Faber Olympica III and Raidho X2. SF were very nice and easy to listen to but I prefer the detailed and more open sound of 804 and X2. Bass of B&W 804 goes deeper than Raidho X2, but Raidho sounded more natural to me. Overall I was most impressed by Raidho X2, but I think with B&W 804d3 or SF O3 & D200 you can't go wrong.
