Integrated Amplifier for B&W 803 D3
More important than the sub itself is the integration of the sub. A highpass crossover is key imo. McIntosh integrated pieces should all have a built in sub highpass but read up on it. This sends the everything above the crossover to the mains and...

Integrated Amplifier for B&W 803 D3
You want to spend a total of $2k on the subs? So $1000 each? If so the SVS Pro 2000. They come both seal and ported and have a 30 day trial. But the 803s deserved better subs. Good subs can make a system but bad subs can break it. JL Audio E line ... 
B&W 800 D4's, Room size, & general Q's
Great post from verdantaudio above.  
B&W 800 D4's, Room size, & general Q's
I have heard the 802D3 and 803D3 both on McIntosh amps (mc611). The 803D3 has no bass… for me me at least. It sounds thin. The 802D is better and with your budget I would be looking at the 800D, your room is fine. I have owned B&W in the passe... 
B&W New Diamond Series?
Buckheadmac,yes big price hike for sure but that is pretty much every brand right now. Magico and Focal were 25% or more. Klipsch just did 15% on their heritage line and none of those were model updates. If you have the money buy now before everyt... 
JBL Studio 590
Jdmccall56,I am not surprised you liked them better than the cornwalls. The quality of the low cost JBLs has me interested in seeking out a pair of JBL 4367s. Can you give some details on what you liked better about the JBLs? Was it an equivalent ... 
B&W New Diamond Series?
" I just wish my 804 was a little brighter..."Seriously??!!Yes my thoughts too. Already too bright at the 3k range and 8k imo. But I have not owned B&W in a long time. I just admire them from a distance as I love the look and the tech but not ... 
Anybody want to talk about the JBL studio 590?
Yep audio deal of the century when JBL blows them out on sale at $900 a pair. Every 3-6 months they are on sale straight from JBL. They have a 30 or 60 day free home trial too. The 590 are huge though but I like big speakers. When my non audiophil...

Kef Blade two mixed use
I use my speakers in dedicated media room so they are used for movies and games too. I have never once noticed them sounded harsh or poor  on none audiophile stuff. Any good speaker should be a non issue. All of the speakers listed are pretty flat... 
Anyone go from Sonus Faber Sonetto III to Olympica Nova II?
I would guess you will not lose bass. The drivers in the Olympica are probably a lot better. The Driver motor has a lot to do with bass output as does the box size. 
Best Integrated Amp for Thiel CS 2.4 Speakers
I own a pair of Thiel 2.4s. I don’t think they need as much power as stated above but I run them currently on 450 watts lol. But really they don’t. I have run them on a few different amps (McIntosh MC462 at the moment) and they were fine off 100 w...
