Marantz Receiver (SR7008) 125W/9ch, Rotel 1090 and 2 pairs of floorstanding B&W's
The Rotel amp will likely have a much different gain level than the speaker output of the Marantz receiver. It could be challenging to level adjust the high output (if it's even possible). Can the Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 from the Marantz SR7...

Jury rigging a WiFi controlled speaker selector
Actually, that switch is meant for power appliances so I need to find the equivalent specs for speakers don’t I? You need to find something using relay for switching, the relay contacts act as a switch, it doesn’t matter using it for switching spe... 
Need Help setting up Lehmann Audio Black Magic Cube II with Shure V15 VXMR
Black magic? I don't know, if your question is setting up the black cube SE-II with a shure v15 vxmr which is a mm cart, I think you want to stay with 47kohm load resistance. If I understand the manual correctly, these are the gain setting for 47k...

Hooking up my JL sub
Passing signal to my Marantz in Pure Direct mode cuts the signal to the subwoofer. Can I use a RCA Y splitter and pass one signal to Marantz and the other to JL audio? Maybe I misunderstand what you want to accomplish, since the DAC1 has both... 
Preamp with HDMI inputs

Hooking up my JL sub
Why would you need a switcher? The sub would be hooked up all the time. It goes off by itself after no signal for about 15 minutes. Sorry I didn't make it clear, the switcher is for the subwoofer to select input from either the DAC1/LOC or Mar...
