What are these B&W speakers worth?
Jkiker, looking at the second link I provided, the original 801 was available from 1979 to 1981, and the retail was $2850 per pair. Have you checked to see if they are working OK? 
What are these B&W speakers worth?
Any price at this point is just a wild guess, and their value may be more or less than the $2000 stated. It is absolutely necessary to know what version of 801 this is. From the original 801 in 1979, and definitely worth much less than $2000, the ...

Greyhound, to begin with I believe the OP is using a basic stereo preamp with no Audyssey, nevertheless let’s look at a few facts, and some more articles for reading, if you care to do so.As noted in the article I provided in my first post, the ma... 
Help with bi-wiring
Jjrenman, I agree with you as I have terminated many various types of cables in years past. Many people have the ability and/or experience to do so, however I have seen attempts by some that looked like a 4 year old did it. The purpose of my comme... 
Help with bi-wiring
Obviously you must be using mono amps, as a 4ft cable would not offer much flexibility with a stereo amp. Have you considered sending them to Kimber? That way, should you ever want to use something different, they would be easier to sell used, and... 
Upgrade my amp again
the Musical Fidelity M3i is 76 wpc, but that is 76 into 8 ohms and 137 into 4 ohms. My assumption is that this amp would be powerful enough (because of the 137 number.) Is this correct?Margot, the MF M3i would definitely be much better than the M...

Anyone tried the ARC REF75 with B&W803D?
I have had some experience with the 803D, and yes, they are a difficult load and very power hungry. Even though the Ref75 is a newer, higher quality amp compared to your current one, I don't understand using less power when it looks like you shoul... 
Speaker Selection Help
I agree with Tboone, that is a huge room, and if it were square,the dimensions would be 50 X 50. Did you mean 2500 cubic feet?It might be best to clarify with the dimensions.

Subbing a 8 amp fuse in for a 1amp fuse in PS/Dac
That has been called the "smoke test". Replacing a blown fuse with a much higher value will often result in the defective part going up in smoke, however it may take other parts with it.
