KEF Reference 5 vs. B&W 802 D3 speakers - which one better? your knowledges & opinions
What I think is that it’s irrelevant because you’re past that point. You have ordered some excellent speakers, brand new and with a warranty. Now you need to look ahead and stop looking back.

kentrent: you need to chill out!  This is supposed to be fun. You should be happy that you made a decision and also got a big discount. The euro price, assuming it was for a European purchase, is irrelevant to you since you would have to pay shipp... 
KEF Reference 5 vs. B&W 802 D3 speakers - which one better? your knowledges & opinions
I’ve experimented with the bass ports. Right now, I’m using four long ones and I’m pretty happy with the results. I think this is very system and room dependent so your preference may be different. You got a 33% discount on speakers that usually a...

Congratulations! Hopefully, you’ll love them immediately. If not..at the risk of being redundant..be patient. I almost wasn’t. I had the same fear about being out so much money but started checking out other options anyway . My dealer came over al...

Kentrent, I’ll do my best to give my perspective. Of course, speakers are very much a personal thing, we have different ears, and may listen to different kinds of music on different equipment in different rooms. I listen mostly to classical music....

Kentrent, it took several (6?)  months for the KEFs to break in. When I bought the Ref 5s, I had never heard them because no dealer within hundreds of miles had them (not the best way to buy speakers). I heard the Ref 3 multiple times and really l... 
KEF Reference 5 vs. B&W 802 D3 speakers - which one better? your knowledges & opinions
i have the KEF Reference 5s and really like them.  I listen mostly to classical music and they are like musical instruments to me. They took a long break in time and lots of setup adjustments. I considered B and W at the time I bought the KEFs but...

Dedicated 20 amp line
Good suggestion about the whole house surge protector.  The electrician who installed my dedicated line recommended this and it made sense so I also had one installed.  I live in the San Francisco area where our power company is shutting down elec... 
Kudos to Dave at Audio Doctor!
I’ve had great experiences with Dave also. He visited me in San Francisco for three days, brought all kinds of equipment for me to audition, helped position my speakers and otherwise set up my system.  I paid his air fare, a pretty fair deal from ... 
Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge?
There is no need to lift the platter to change speed on the Rega P6. It comes standard with an external power supply which allows you to change speeds by pressing a button.  
Krell iBias Amp Dependability: An Informal Survey
I can only speak about my experience.  I bought the Duo 175xd a few months ago and have experienced no problems (knock on wood). Krell seems to have a good reputation for customer service based on Audiogon comments.  I you haven’t done so already,... 
Any love for newer Krell amps?

Any love for newer Krell amps?
millercarbon-I really appreciate your sarcasm. You obviously are a very nice person (couldn’t resist emulating your sarcastic example).   
Any love for newer Krell amps?
The Krell weighs 60 pounds total. Honestly, I was not able to hear either the Krell or Coda. Both were highly recommended by the same dealer (Dave Lalin) but he had a higher recommendation for the Krell despite the higher price.  He arranged for t...
