Which subwoofer?
The new x series from REL are incredible. Check out my T/7x review on their website www.rel.net  
Older vs. newer REL subs
I’ve got about a months experience with the new t/7x. It is an incredible upgrade over the i/series. They are extremely fast, play fast and loud (if needed). Took my two channel office system to another dimension. It is definitely a permanent fixt... 
Looking for more detail in a speaker
Bfora. I have the MC-152 / C47 in my office system playing through the 805d3’s. This system sounds incredible and seems to check your search boxes. Why not see if BB Mag will set up the d3’s in your room? If you go the 805 route I’d strongly sugge...

Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc
I’ve been using Niles OS7.5 Indoor Outdoor Patio All Weather Speakers around my pool for 9+ years. Sound fantastic, military build. Simply the best. FYI, NIB pair currently on eBay. You’ll be glad you did.  
Does anyone collect something else other than music.
High end guitars. OUCH!!! My wallet pains me over the last 5 years or so.  
Tempted to buy a Macintosh
You should demo the MC-152. Has all the newer Mc features. Easily obtains the stated 150 wpc and has great headroom. One of the most “musical” sounding of all Mc amps. I paired with a C47 pre in my office rig. Great combo.  
Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?
805d3 (happy) owner. These are in my office set up and are fed by a McIntosh C47 pre and MC-152 SS amp. Tidal streaming is source. Small room 11’x13’x9’. System components are a perfect match which provides an incredibly full range of sound with e...

I’m in Jacksonville also. There are several shop options to go to and listen to gear. Best Buy Magnolia Room, Hoyt Stereo, House of Stereo... They all provide different options at varying price points. Enjoy the search and don’t be afraid to dream.  
Forever speakers around $5000
I second the B&W 805d3. Stylish looks and with proper room placement and power they will check all your boxes. I have a pair in my office setup. Absolutely no need for sub. Enjoy the adventure.
