Did you buy them new? 
Speaker upgrade for classical music
You need speakers that can deliver scale, dynamics and accurate instrument voicing primarily.  Maggies are ok but can lack dynamic freedom needed for large scale orchestral.  B&W 800 Diamonds deliver detail of Maggies but also enjoy being push... 
MIT Matrix rev 60 speaker cables. Has anyone listened to them?
I have B&W 802D3’s, Krell K300i and Yamaha SACD 2100 Front end.

All mentioned, but explore Shostakovich and Rochberg.   
Best Power cable around/prefer under $300....
Anticables...absolutely top notch! 
Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
Yes and there are great value power cords...but, MIT actually has unique patented technology in their PC’s which can be quite illuminating when all else is set up properly! 
Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
Yes...it can be.  Both can be involving when properly set up!  I have thousands of CD’s, many are superb recordings of music that is no longer available on any format. 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
A large Marshall Bluetooth Amplifier...simple and under &1k! 
B&W 702 Signature vs The original B&W 702 S2
Enjoy them Medialies! 
Transparent cables Recalibration prices out of this world
Used most all of the cables mentioned here...MIT REV series from Joe Abrams actually does what they are supposed to do...huge holographic soundstage with tremendous detail and dynamics plus lifelike tone and textures from instruments!  Free 30 day... 
Kimber vs Transparent
Owned both brands and had Levinson gear...MIT REV series from Joe Abrams is life changing!  30 day free trial...you won’t regret it. 
MIT Matrix rev 60 speaker cables. Has anyone listened to them?
I own them, along with the REV 50 Balanced Interconnects.  They are absolutely the equivalent of the Oracle 1.2’s...I should know, because I had them and let them go several years ago.  Big Mistake!!  Actually, the REV combo I have now seems a bit...
