The best looking speakers
Cant beat Boenicke. Im just waiting on my W11's to arrive as replacements to my Focal Kanta 3s.  
Looking at Focal
Can't comment on your specific B&W but I did demo current 802D along side Kanta 3. I ended up with the Kanta 3. I thought the Kantas had a more precise and larger soundstage, more robust bass and highs that were detailed without being harsh. I... 
Amp for Martin Logan Motion 60XT
I had an NAD M22V2 powering my 60xt before I went to Kanta 3s and Mcintosh. Sounded fantastic. Actually about to put it the NAD up for sale! 
SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?
So....i have an SVS SB16 and have it on a carpeted floor. Tried it without feet and the bass was bloated. The SVS feet helped tighten things up with not a significant loss. I then went to isoacoustic Gaia II with carpet spikes and everything is si...

What equipment have you bought this year so far ?
I bought an svs sb16 ultra and focal kanta 3 with the matching kanta center. Break in is killing me :) 
Focal Kanta 2
I just received my Kanta 3 and center last week. Breaking them in has been torture but so far I'm very happy with the purchase. Driving them with M22v2 and M27 for the center (and rear/surrounds/atmos). Positioning is important atleast so far in m... 
Kef Ref 3 or Focal Kanta 2
Thanks for the responses. After another round of demoing, I've ordered Kanta 3s. To my ears the Kanta 3 and Kef Ref had similar soundstage size and I like the mids better on the Kantas. It ultimately came down to my gut. Everytime I walked out of ... 
Smart home theaters
I have the below integrated into a Savant system. Pricey but I'm very happy with it. Everything is single touch on and control via app on smartphone or savant remote. Through the system you can also do HVAC, lights, shades etc.Theater roomSony A1E... 
Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch
I'd go with the Rotel as well as I had it in my system for about a year. Sound was great though it does take up a lot of room. Seriously consider replacing that Marantz pre amp though. I had the same until I went to the NAD M17V2 and its night and... 
Home Theater Processor
I was in the same boat and went with the NAD M17V2. Sound quality is amazing and it's far less finicky than the 8802a or the 8805 with their 5000 different setting. Additionally the Dirac room correction is superb if you are a tinkerer. My only tw... 
NAD M17 V2
Just an update for anyone else interestedM17 v2 are now starting to hit authorized dealers although quantities will continue to be restricted until roughly Oct. I just picked up the showroom model from Audio Concepts in Dallas that arrived Friday!
