Magnepan Owners
Thank you both, as I stated I will explore the jumpers but I’m not willing to risk my 20.7’s by taking out the fuses. 
Where do I start-amp or speakers ?
I started from ground zero with a set budget and found myself starting with speakers and then amp and preamp. I must say I knew that my dedicated listening room was going to be same for the next 5 years so was comfortable with zeroing in on my spe... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium
@aolmrd1241 It's truly awesome! I can't believe how much time I've spent listening to music since I switched out my components. I've probably gained 3-5lbs since bringing the PL's into my home.LOL! I installed the Mullard's and Phillips yesterday ... 
Audio Research Ref 3 VS Mark Levinson 38s
@tattooedtrackman A piece of advice DO NOT  base your purchase on someone else’s opinion. Let your ears be the judge because it’s you that will have to live with it. Come on man I know we all want information but jeez. You will not have his speake...

Where do I start-amp or speakers ?
IMHO - Begin with room size, listening levels, music preference and then decide on speakers. This will inform you on amplification options. I don’t agree with ever starting off with amp unless you know the above. You can back yourself into a corne...

Taralabs cables
I own a pair 0.8 speaker and interconnects cables and man do they allow my Maggie’s to sing. Tara Labs are second to none. If I ever decide to upgrade i will love to hear the Muse line. Cheers  
Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled?
IMO Transparent cables are over priced and are not musical. I was going to purchase so a few years back and decided to go with Tara labs. Tara labs make great cables you should check them out. Very neutral and natural sounding cables.cheers  
Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub?
@ricred1 I really respect where you are coming from but I think we music lovers tend to be obsessed with the journey and forget why we love music. IMHO it makes no sense to purchase a speaker with the performance and the pedigree of a B&W 802D... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium
Still waiting on tubes to arrive. I ended up changing my order at the last minutes and going with the Mullard’s and the Phillips rectifier. I’m honestly being greedy because each day the PL’s continue to impress me more and more. I know the Mullar... 
Where do I start-amp or speakers ?
@michaeljbrown I would start with the speakers and then amp and Preamp. Based on speakers you may decide to go with a good integrated amplifier. PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP for $4300 would be a great addition. Cheers 
Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub?
@ricred1 I was just at the CES and don’t recall any 10k and above floor standing speakers with subs just saying! As a Magnepan owner someone is always recommending a sub before I even got them in my home. I bought my 20.7 and they provide great ba... 
Class D is just Dandy!
@georgehifi Yes I’ve been using the 4ohm tap and it sounds glorious. Cheers
