Hi Blazerfan -
I have the same view that Bob Reynolds posted "regarding a high-current amp and its impact on low volume listening".
I do not see the connection either.
What Preamp were you driving the w-3 with??
Your Speakers do not seem to be a tough load requiring lots of power - Nominal impedance: 8 ohms. Sensitivity: 91dB/W/m (room), 88dB/W/m (anechoic).
