Cambridge Audio 840C
Knownothing, I read there is an issue with the impedance of the Primaluna 8 which can cause a lack of bass depending on the impedance of the preamp connected to it. Does the board resolve the impedance issue? 
Best frieght company to ship Speakers
By the way, I've shipped heavy speakers 3 times without any issues. If your speakers have considerable size or weight definitely strap them to a pallet and you increase your odds of a safe delivery tenfold. I've used Dayton Freight successfully in... 
High WAF, simple, integrated amplifier

Totem Forest Speakers.....
Matt, synergy is so so elusive. I'm still trying to capture it in my system. Source amp speaker synergy is complex or can be simple if you know of system(s) that work well and replicate that system. The Yamaha appears to be the lesser component in... 
I always do something stupid...
Hey Dgaylin we've all made mistakes. I had an integrated in for audition and shorted it out when I hit a speaker cable with my foot and knocked it loose. Fortunately the dealer was a nice guy and did not charge me for it.

Pre-Power or Int Amp for Totem Wind
It's been documented here on many occasions that amps and integrateds by Plinius and Simaudio work well with Totem. I'm sure there are many others. I would add that you would do well to purchase something high current-high power. 
PrimaLuna Prologue 8
So glad I didn't buy it at the time I was interested. I would have done so without knowledge of this impedance matching issue. 
Wilson Sophia 2 vs Revel Salon2--fair comparison?
I'm with Johnny. For the cost involved in purchasing high end speakers at this level, it's worth it to at least hear the Salon2's before making any decision. Take a weekend and fly if you have to. 
1 Subwoofer or Are 2 Better??
I did go from having 1 sub to 2 and found the bass was more evenly distributed. 
Made in Canada conundrum
What a coincidence this thread is. I have a Blue Circle audio piece sitting in Ontario now with a clearance delay. I sent mine for an upgrade rather than a repair. My delay has only been 9 days unlike yours Springbok10. My fault however because I ...

Two are better.
