UNDECIDED UTOPIA.
My two cents. If I had 10k to spend on speakers I should have enough money to make a weekend trip to a city that has dealers for the speakers in question. Granted they will sound a little different in your room than in the dealers place. It is all... 
Best SS Amp with tight clean bass
Sim Autio Rock mono blocks. 
Tubed amp for Paradigm Studio 100V3s...??
Rogue M-150 mono blocks. A friend has a pair driving Vandersteen 2 Sigs. They run in 75 watts in triode and 150 in ultralinear. The Vandy's are not the most efficent speakers and the Rogues drive them effortlessly. 
Suggest a tube integrated for me . .
How big is your room? What kind of music do you listen to? Do you need a phono stage built in? Is a remote a must have? 
B&W 703 - How to tame the highs?
I would definitely get a in home audition on the 800's before you put down the extra cash on them. You may have the same problem. If you can swing some more cash you might look at the Diamond series by B&W if you are set on staying with B&...

Where do the PSA Statement PC's
Better than some and not as good as others. There are a lot of PC manufacturers out there. Did you have a particular brand(s) you are wanting to compare the PSA's to? 
Which is Uglier?
I beleive Richerd's theory is sound first then everthing else. I have listened to the 5's and think they are probably the best I have heard. Granted I have not heard Wilson's, the high dollar Dali's and so on. 5's are pretty ugly, not as ugly as t... 
B&W 703 - How to tame the highs?
Take what Nrenter says with a grain (or maybe a tablespoon full) of salt. Anyone that spends the amount of time on building their own cables as Nick does, is not right in the head. All kidding aside. I have been to Nick's house and listened to his... 
B&W 703 - How to tame the highs?
No to the silver wire. Probably make the problem worse. I think Arafel has a great idea. Get a home audition of a different speaker like JM Lab, Quad, Vandersteen, or some such and see if that fixes the problem.Good luck. 
B&W 703 - How to tame the highs?
Arafel,abb@cs.com listed his/her equipment as Cary/AES Six Pacs, Cary/AES DJH sig preamp and a Jolida cd player. Last time I checked all those components were tube based. 
B&W 703 - How to tame the highs?
Some very nice equipment. Try room treatments and/or cables? IMHO, if that doesn't work you might look at different speakers. I find that pretty much all B&W speakers, except the Diamond series are bright. Not saying that to start a fight with... 
Opinion on what power route I should go...$3000
I'd go with A. 
Denon 3803 issue, no sound in sub? Help
