No bass on B&W 800D2
Can you connect only the bass drivers to your amplifiers and see how things are? It's a shame you can't compare them to the 802s. I am bi amping the 802 d3’s I have, and each speaker has 600 W mono McIntosh amplifiers to support the bass drivers.... 
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
@tdudnyk  I think he means that you need to spend over $50,000 to get a quality sound from an overpriced speaker and that same quality sound was available for $25,000.  Depends on how well your Wallet leather is stretched and then $25,000 does no... 
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
@rforddaddyo  what Tubes do you use on the MC 2301? How do you like the biamp config?   
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
Problem is nobody has this pristine perfect acoustically designed room from which to hear these perfectly acoustically designed speakers. And then even when you do start hearing them the way God intended they’re probably too clinical and fatiguing... 
Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections
@califortini  I cut out the edge of a box and slid the end of the cable inside the corrugated piece and then just put some electrical tape over it to protect the connection. So basically one side is connected and one side isn't and according to ... 
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
The older b&w speakers were really nice and filled the room very comfortably. Older speakers have value if they’re in good condition and it sounds like you’ve done some things to yours thank you so much to make them really nice. New speakers ...

@aewarren  What do you have?   
Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it
Who is Roon and how many people do they employ? I haven a lifetime subscription and familiar with it always wondered what is this organization? It's a shame they don't offer customer service on the phone?    
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
Same leg of power? That's a multi branch circuit. The best have individual circuits if you can have room on your panel. I hate multi branch circuit terribly sloppy  
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
Have you measured power consumption of components???? Ratings are not helpful sometimes when it comes to how much Power usage there would be  
Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp?
Make sure all your gears plugged into one circuit. Get a filter for your tv cable cord, try disconnecting Cable to see if that does anything.   Don’t sit so close to the speaker. Buy a puppy. Make a chocolate milkshake. I definitely think you'r... 
Amp Stands - Wood or Stone
I like a thick solid piece of oak with recessed casters mounted on the bottom and you can move them around and they look fabulous.    
Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new
An integrated is confining. Unless you have space issues I would branch out with a few separates. McIntosh is known for amplifiers. So much better things out there worthy of exploration Although they do offer tone controls which is nice. Tone con... 
Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i
@audiotroy  Above for your info. It's interesting good stuff  
It was the output tubes all along...
Isn't it really tough for tubes to get along with bass drivers? Isn't that the real challenge herein?
