labpro, Please look into Core Audio Designs, you may not even need to keep the HRS platform. http://coreaudiodesigns.com/products/component-racks/ 
PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo
@thieliste Glad to hear about your audition with Ypsilon went well. I have recently gone through the similar experience but at a much lower price point. My dealer brought in McIntosh C2500 / MC601 mono's to pair with my B&W 800D2’s. Right off ... 
Tube vs Solid State
Larry,Thank you for your offer. I end up auditioning the MAC's, more than likely I am going to end up keeping them.  
B&W 'New' 800 Series
@joey_v ,Give GIK Acoustics a call and speak to Bryan Pape. Great advise and reasonably priced room treatments. Have Fun! 
B&W 'New' 800 Series
@dave_b Glad to hear you enjoyed the demo. IMHO, McIntosh / B&W does offer pretty good synergy. I did notice 800's sounded more natural and fuller compare to the pairing with Classe M600's.   
I need a recommendation for long(er) cables
Try Signal cable, I have purchased upto 70' speakers and balanced cables for rear channels from Frank...excellent build quality and always a great friendly service. http://www.signalcable.com/speaker_cables.html 
B&W 'New' 800 Series
@kot, what mediocre McIntosh amps BB paired 802D3's with? 
What is most important part of a system?
All of it, from dedicated 20amp circuit to last possible tweak. And above all my ears which helps me analyze the importance of each and every component in a system to sit back and enjoy music.  
Resale value of new speakers
I agree with most here, insurance companies don't care what you do with claim money.  Once the claim is verified, they want to settle as quickly as possible.

Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions?
I have been enjoying my Modwright LS36.5. Well designed preamp with isolated tube rectified power supply and a pair of 6H30's in signal output stage.  
Tube vs Solid State
@rspyder, thank for your recommendation. Man, the very notion of HP700 and MRE220 pairing sounds pretty heavenly.  May I please know what speakers and preamp you're using with MRE220?Cheers! 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
Matt, McIntosh MC601 should be on your audition list unless you 'hate' the appearance (no offense to MAC's fan base). I have heard B&W's with MAC's and they sound pretty amazing.  
Tube vs Solid State
Thanks again Al, I will check it out.  
Tube vs Solid State
Not yet, but to move forward with new set of amps this would be the first step.
