MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT.
You don't need to change fuse for the Rotel RMB-1585. Did you get the RMB-1585 or the RMB-1575? The RMB-1585 is a great amp especially for the money. 
Speaker recommendation for Home Theater
The Classe CT SSP/SSP 800 is spectacular. I owned the SSP 800, which is basically the same as the CT SSP, for almost 8 years until recently. Now I have the Lyngdorf MP-50 cause I want Dolby Atmos, DTS-X & Auro 3D and the Classe SSP 800 does no... 
Naim Uniti Star/Nova and Turntable
I have the Naim Uniti Nova in my bedroom setup paired with the Sonus Faber Olympica 3 standmount speakers. Very musical sounding unit. I highly recommend the Nova! However, I do not have a turntable in this bedroom setup. I simply use the Nova to ... 
Looking for a piece to complement my Parasound Halo A21
Get the Rotel RMB-1585 class AB five-channel amp. It’s way better than your Rotel RMB-1565 class D amp. Rotel class D amps are total failures. If you want to get Rotel you will have to go with their class AB amps such as the RMB-1585. Night and da...

Not to mention that electronics are very important too along with cables and acoustic.  
NAD x Classé
For your B&W 802 D3 speakers I would look for a used discontinued Classe Delta CAM 300 monoblock amps (class AB) or at least the Classe Delta CA-2300 stereo amp (class AB), which is a stereo version of the CAM 300 monoblock amps. These would b... 
Denon AVR vs. Martin Logan Electrostats
Yes there’s a stereo version of the Rotel RMB-1585 called the RB-1582 MK ll currently retails for $1600 new. Basically the same amplifier as the RMB-1585 except it’s two-channel. This amp will pair really well with your ML Source. Both the RMB-158... 
NAD x Classé
Normally Classe and NAD aren’t in the same league. Classe is much superior to the NAD especially when it comes to amplifiers. But in this case since you’re asking about the Classe Sigma series class D amp and I’m not a fan of class D amp. But for ... 
Denon AVR vs. Martin Logan Electrostats
I wouldn’t get the Emotiva amp. Get the Rotel RMB-1585 amp it’s way better than the Emotiva the Rotel RMB-1585 costs more than the Emotiva but it’s way more refined sounding and more capable and competent amplifier than the Emotiva. No comparison.... 
Denon AVR vs. Martin Logan Electrostats
@mwatsme Your ML Source ESL electrostatic planar are prety awesome and I wouldn’t sell them and get Definitive Technology if I were you. Your ML Source ESL are better but the ML Source impedance is low their nominal impedance is below 6 ohms and i... 
Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor
@btw22 @rshad0000 And I would add to the fact that the Lyngdorf does support those 3D object surround sound formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS-X & Auro-3D which the SSP 800 cannot. Especially if you have lots of movie content materials (newer bl... 
Speaker recommendation for Home Theater
Totally agreed with audiotroy. @audiotroy Just wondering how is the Audio Control Maestro M9? Say in comparison to the Lyngdorf MP-50 or the McIntosh MX160 or the Classe SSP 800 aside from Classe limitations in supports for those 3D surround sound... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
Out of those 3 choices if I were you I would go for either the Joseph Audio or the Spendor. I'm not a fan of lower end Magico especially the A3. However the Magico top of the line model or series called the M series such as the M3 & the M6 are... 
Time for a Pre change? Need the wisdom...
Get the ARC Ref 10 linestage preamp or the Ref 6 if you can't swing for the Ref 10. 
Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3
T+A will be a great choice if you can afford it. The Rega Osiris analog integrated amp (no DAC) will also be a great choice for the Magico A3. The Osiris is Rega's flagship integrated amp and it retails for $10k new.
