I used to own CM7s and I thought they sound fantastic with my NAD C355bee. Highly recommned this combination. To me, the CM7s could sound a tiny bit bright if paired with the wrong amp. The NAD has a warmer sound which I found to be just right with the CM7s. If you want something slightly higher up the food chain, then I'd be considering a Naim nait 5i.
 
Not sure how it is in the UK ,but B&W's are often paired with Rotel gear here.I have heard the CM7's with the new Rotel RA-1520 integrated, and it was a good match.I believe it received a 5 star rating in What Hi-fi recently as well.It is well damped and will provide good control over the low frequencies of the CM7's, and has a smooth top end which imo is essential for the unforgiving B&W tweeters.
 
I would avoid roksan as they make music tiresome with the CM7's. Best going for a warmer amp, for example Nad as previously said. I went with the Yamah A-S1000...smooth and warm, therefore give the yamaha a-s700 a listen. These amps are very easy on my ears, so you can sit back, kick your feet up and enjoy the music
