Is using an Apple Computer a weak link...?
Not imo. Tidal, and roon will be the weak link. If you have a current Mac give apples new high Rez a try. https://youtu.be/bRDGh4Ph6ok 
Bowers and Wilkins 800 Series Discontinued?
I was at a local dealer a month ago and in a casual conversation they expected the new 800 line to be out this year.

Some simple toe out might fox your issue too.

I wonder if they will finally shelve down the highs. I bet there is a zero % chance lol.  
Revel F36 vs. Elac 247.4
Too bad to hear about the Revel support. I assume it is because they import finished products and parts. Where companies that assemble in the US would have parts. Sad state of things these days.  
Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts?
Well if you don’t want comments you will not get any…. Buy some and see if you like them… they have no real flaw and multiple measurements back that up. Does not mean you will like them if you like some coloration.  I like wilsons better even thou... 
Lack of popularity of Chord???
No worries, thanks for the links. At their price it was too much of a risk for me not hearing them. I own the mojo and have demoed the Hugo TT with headphones (never speakers) which I will would love to own.  
Lack of popularity of Chord???
Those are all DAC. Not too much about their amps or DACs used as per amps. Just my opinion. I have bought other stuff I could actuality demo at this point. I plan to replace my mojo for my headphones with something else from cord down the road.  
Lack of popularity of Chord???
They are just too exclusive in the US. I only ever see their headphones amps. I liked the mojo enough to look into their amps but the lack of opinions online turned me off. I would love to have a DAVE but never will.

Not sure about the silicone caulking. The local shop did all my repairs.  
Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts?
There is not a better speaker then the 228be in its price range. Just have to listen to things and see what you like. They are a flat accurate speaker and that does not mean you will like them but they are near perfect.

Good call to stick with what you have. You will be happy with that. Each time my JL E112s broke they changed out all of the electronics. This last time they change everything (including the driver) but the box. I basically had 4 subs fail. My curr...

Welcome to the club lol. While I really like the old wilsons they are not forgiving and I would guess they are the root cause. I don’t know your amplification at all. But I have lived with the same issue with a number of brands (B&W, Thiel etc...

I would not buy JL audio used. They might need repaired at some point. Good sound garbage quality but they stand behind that garbage so… 
Paradigm or JL subwoofer
The E112s ($2500 each) sounds just as good as the Fathom 12s and look much nicer with the grills off imo. the driver design is a lot newer. But and it is a big but they don’t have the built in room correction. You do gain a built in highpass cross...
