Summing up L & R line-level for dual subs
Point taken, Lewinskih01. I do tend to be very brief, so it is good that others, like Al, take the time and patience to explain in more detail. 
Adding 2 channel goodness to existing reciever
1. You can do either. Just adding the amp will give you the quality power to drive better speakers. Adding a good preamp with "HT Bypass" and a good phono stage will give you a separate stereo system with the ability to still use the AVR. Look at ... 
Summing up L & R line-level for dual subs
Also stated in the last paragraph of the first reply. ;-) 
Can this sub arrangement work, please sub pro's?
Sure but then you will have no HP filter on the main speakers. That means (1) increased stress and lowered power handling on them and (2) difficulty in balancing/aligning the subs with them. 
H/T suggestions for 2 channel?
Yes, there are multichannel preamp-processors with analog outputs and there are, also, AVRs with similar outputs. All will decode modern formats. 
Can this sub arrangement work, please sub pro's?
It is hard to know what you are asking. Yes, physically, you can put each Pulsar on top of each sub but you would be advised to put spikes under the subs or otherwise secure them to the floor. Also, you need to determine how much those subs vibrat... 
Summing up L & R line-level for dual subs
Probably too well. Combining the L/R out of the Lamm will probably sum the output to the main amp/speakers. Result: No stereo.If your subs have L/R inputs, you should connect to them independently and let each sub do the summing. Otherwise, you ne... 
How are AVRs for 2-channel music these days?
One should consider an AVR with an analog input/passthrough that avoids any redigitizin of the signals. 
Oppo BDP-105 ... DMP or DMR
DLNA will not support DSD file transmission and that is why I use SMB. 
Oppo BDP-105 ... DMP or DMR
I am using the 103 and the 105 with SMB and have been able to access/play almost anything well. The Oppo GUI is not the best but it is useful, especially with the latest firmware update. Of course, one needs an HDMI monitor to see it.Using DLNA wi... 
How long do B&W 800 series speakers last
The surround in the Matrix 801 S2 is rubber. Unless mistreated, it should last a long time. 
Subwoofer cable or regular IC's???
Same thing. 
How long do B&W 800 series speakers last
Did B&W use foam suspensions in any of the 800 series speakers? 
Subwoofer hook up from PC to Focal XS PC Speakers
The answer is dependent on the quality of the crossover in the subwoofer but I suspect that, in the case of using a 1/8" ouput from a typical PC, it will not be significant. If you were using an external, high-quality DAC, I would have greater con...
