my personal opinion is that such combination is the best possible solution if space and budget is a concern.
e.g. occasionally it maybe impossible to place 2 sets of speakers (one for 5.1 and another ...

Any good suggestion for Int Amp with exact model and their prices?
depends on your speaker, your budget, and your taste. It will be difficult to make an exhaustive list on the currently available Int amps in the market.
you can shortlist your potential choices by 1. budget 2.speaker 3. taste and then go and listen.
given the fact that you'd like to buy B&W speakers, go and try JR Continuum, Passlabs, Luxman, Gryphon or even Accuphase.

Thank you very much, my budget is near 20k ~ 30k for Int Amp, is it enough? Before I do not have any idea on Int Amp.
Can you show their price level?
1) HKD 10k ~ 20k
2) HKD 20k ~ 30k
3) HKD 30k ~ 40k
4) HKD 40k ~ 50k
5) HKD 50k or above
Pass Labs, Luxman, JR, Accuphase and etc, what are their price level?
most of the decent int amp of the mentioned brand which can push 804 well fall into the range of #3 - #5 as mentioned by you and the second hand of these int amps fall into #3 and #4 (maybe some in #2)
e.g. the second hand price for a Gryphon diablo is ~ $48K and Continuum is $5xK
maybe it will be fine to spend some time in Ar Yee, Excel, International and Prestige so you can have an audition, see whether which one suits you.
Do spare 5-6 hrs in the coming days and go to
MK Ar Yee for Accuphase/Mcintosh
MK Excel for Krell
MK International for Gryphon and JR
Central Prestige for Luxman
call them beforehand so that they can arrange a setup for you.
It will not be rewarding by asking " N questions" and results in "N suggestions" by "N differernt members". Which in turn, results in either
asking the "N+1 question" or
buying something which some members suggested but doesn't suit you at all or
sell all the gears 6 months later in the second hand market as those gears doesn't match
