Op amp Rolling?
I have tried so many different op amps.  The OPA627 is nice.  The larger format PDIP "BP" version are the best version.  The can "AM" versions are just too bright sounding.  They are very clean and fast (when using a proper power supply and oscill... 
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.
