Plinius warm-up
Every Plinius(and so I believe Pass) amp has an extraneous heat sink area for its output elements. This situation is substantially better than having a lack of a heat sink area, but it needs a great amount of time to bring the amp to the normal op... 
My name is.....and I am a compliationaholic.
CW,It seems that you simply need to explore deeper music and dig out something new. There is lots of music I'm sure that you did not explore that already existed a long time ago upto now. It continues to bring new artists new labels and new releas... 
Here's why amps can be more important than speaker
Hey folks,How about gettin' some Studio 100 blown by some old Kenwood receiver huh? 
Plinius 8200 MkII and Paradigm Studio 100 v2?
If you realy ever will feel you're in need of more power you can get matching 8200p and biamp(don't know if studio 100 is bi-wirable). Even if you have enough(I'm sure that 175W/ch is enough) than simply you'd benefit from doubled power class A op... 
Which amp in this system?
Why not go with Bryston 3b-st or4b-st which is a great match to your speakers? 
Bi-wired
if two-post speaker has parallel crossover than it can be modified for bi-wired one otherwise it cannot.bi-wired speaker basically setup to use a reactance value ranges of wires that are going from amplifier and has a parallel crossover thus using... 
Analysis Plus VS Silverline bi-wired
In bi-wiring nothing you will loose except an extra-investment when you simply get another pair(either identical or different gauge) of AP or any different wires that you might like.Having two pairs(especially of a different gauge) have the same o... 
Matching Amps and Preamps--any Combo?
I'd start from ANY room first. 
What can be on a cd that.....
In general scratches, fingerprints and/or marks on CD have much larger impact on playback than same on vinyl. In your deck scratched and marked CD plays but on another might not. If somehow the brand-new CD does not play in your deck it means it h... 
Who makes good quality bananas ?
I have to point out that Chiquita have much better value for a spent dollar than WBT especially when you're in vitamin hunger during Spring. 
Pre-amp as input to another pre-amp?
...than connect tape out of your tape to the other preamp!

Does B&W produce a high resolution speakers for 2ch music anymore or just mains center and rears? 
Digital direction
1. speak to Michael Percy from www.percyaudio.com for the internal upgrade path and compare with partsconnexion.2. don't bother with external DAC under $1k.3. by adding $1k to your existing sold player you can get realy great one-box such as ARC C... 
Classical, Jazz, or Rock?
Got-cha Rockin',You wanted to say that you mostly have a "non-audiophile-grade" kinda music!I love classical(mostly large orchestral) not less than I love rock but wouldn't waste my time to bring it right from the speakers and electronics. Neither... 
Here's why amps can be more important than speaker
Cdc, Don't be so digital! A real sound from the non-electronic/speaker source will also have it's own harmonic distortions. Bringing it down to approach zero means killing a part of life within that. I stopped looking at specs for THD unless it go...
