Yes, I agree with Bi Amping those Haflers with the Maggies NOT (mono) bridging them. A Much better option is to get rid of the Hafler amps (to harsh och!) and invest in a quality two channel amp to drive the speakers. I'm sure people here could su... 
Pro-Ject RPM10.1 Evolution, any users here?
I ended up with a MUCH different table, one that I can upgrade to my hearts content, when i’m ready. It’s a J.A. Michell Gyro SE with TechnoArm the latest edition (three point mount). I’m very happy with how this table sounds...Dynamic and lively ...

McIntosh C22 all day!.......... 
SoundSmith Rega combo
I had a P3 with a 3mm spacer playing a Dynavector 10X5, this improved dynamics and allowed a little more forward rake, that allowed the cartridge to sit just right...it is incredible when you find synergy with a tonearm and cartridge! Dynavectors ... 
Pro-Ject RPM10.1 Evolution, any users here?
Pro-Ject’s upper end tables sound very warm, lush and full, with rock solid speed stability and deep bass with excellent detail and great upper extension. Dynamics however suffer a little (subjective based on my system). I owned an Xtension 10 (pi...

Hegel H360 vs Separates
Next youll be on here asking about cables to connect the two! LOL. Seriously, it should be a large improvement in sound Q. Better everything. I'm sure anything you can do to improve the signal going to those Focals will be rewarded :-) Matt M 
Oppo BDP-83 and Onyko HT-R695
I am pretty certain that you can run a Optical cable from the OPPO (optical output) to the Optical/Toslink input connection on your Onkyo. Dont stress the OPPO has so many ways to connect. Also, you can use a Digital RCA from OPPO to COAX Input on... 
Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled?
Because they have boxes on them! Get some cables that dont use networks, let the power of your system come out! Matt M 
KEF LS50W who has them?
