Fuse upgrades? -- 6.3 amp 250v 5X20mm fast blow fuses
Another note.  I haven't tested the Synergistic BLACK/BLUE fuses. The older SR20 fuse is very clean and fast, but it lacks the high frequency response (so it sounds a little like a Class D amp would).The Synergistic "RED" fuses is about the least ... 
Fuse upgrades? -- 6.3 amp 250v 5X20mm fast blow fuses
Before we have a zealot coming in and reducing this thread to a troll fight, I will say that fuses are a way to tune your sound.  There's no right answer and I have actually used different fuses in different situations to "adjust" the sound.---Suc... 
PMC or Proac st RMAF?
Saw Proac in one room.  Sounded really dry to me, but could have been the electronics.

B&W Nautilus 803 or B&W 702 S2?
Hmmm, seeing as how the Wilson Audio Alexx comes in at $109,000 retail, I don’t think that’s a fair comparison either.---So, when comparing the cost of a B&W 803 D3 at $17,000 a pair. What speakers would be better AND cheaper?!?Or even the 804... 
B&W Nautilus 803 or B&W 702 S2?
Huh, that's interesting.  I am a B&W owner and had the D2 and now own all D3s.  I have the complete opposite experience from you, caphill.  My B&W D3 are extremely engaging for music and are very rich and full sounding.  It at all, I would... 
B&W Nautilus 803 or B&W 702 S2?
@caphill - what is it about the B&W D3 that you don't like for music? 
B&W Nautilus 803 or B&W 702 S2?
I'll put a couple suggestions that have already been recommended a lot.  The Hegel H160 will be a better and more refined integrated than the Rotel for about $1600-1900 used.  The H300 will be better than that, as the B&W speakers really need ... 
Any experience with a crown K1 or K2 amp?
I researched this years ago and went with the Crown CTS2000, which was supposed to be an evolution of Crown's K2 amp.  The CTS2000 used the efficient Class I amp circuit and was definitely a very nice sub amp.  The CTS was discontinued and replace... 
Suggestions for an amp

New Parasound A21 VS Mark Levinson #23
By the way, there are a couple "brand-new-in-box" Parasound A21s on ebay for $1999.  One in silver and one in black.  I actually bought mine from the same seller a few months back.   
Help me spec n class A AMP, power calculation 85dB @ 1W @ 1metre
Ah.,  JC1 are excellent amps and they will allow you to switch between low bias (10 watts) and high bias (25 watts) Class A.  Generally, Class A will give you warmer and more rounded tones. 
Help me spec n class A AMP, power calculation 85dB @ 1W @ 1metre
Krell made a series of amps called FPB - Full Power Balanced.  They were all Class A amps, but not in a standard way.  They had an auto-bias circuit and did not push full Class A all the time.  You can tell this because the amps had an idle curren...
