Oh no, not B&W again
Not to bash B&W yet again as they've been run through the ringer on this site over the years ,and rightfully so IMO.Having heard the 802d way too many times finding it just a mess in the bass and not coheriant,lack of the toetap factor with ju... 
Tidal Agoria vs The Keggs
This has to be one of the dumbest post Ive read in years.. 
Running two MC275's in mono
Ive owned the 275 on more than one occasion and Ive heard the Tidals..IMO not a good match at all.The Macs are too slow and tubby and better suited for other speakers 
I wanna rock -- with monitors on stands
IMO, your not rocking with that setup..You may think you are but I seriously doubt it..The speakers are only good from what I just read down to mid 4s and without cabinet volume or a nice sub,just not happening...I built a second system with 1950s... 
I wanna rock -- with monitors on stands
IMO what your seeking is something along JBL/Altec status.The music you listen to in most cases is poorly mixed and mastered,even on LP.To throw cash at monitors and a sub in most cases is a big waste ie Dynaudio C1 and f110 combo.I have tons of t... 
considering 15 yr old Eggleston Andra's
I think the biggest question is..how much??IMO unless deeply discounted Id pass..The bass and weight is an issue as stated above..Plus tough resale factor 
Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H
IMO, Levinson..The new MC452 has been slammed by the followers and after hearing it many times I agree.Guessing this amp is short lived.Having heard the 532H once its really a better choice for your speakers,SF is known for being kindof in the sam... 
Help with ringing bass from Dynaudio C1
Having heard these speakers more times than I can count Id say there is an issue w/C1s.If your running the system in the same room with other speakers and you dont hear the problem,,its your Dynaudios as this is most certainly not common 
Dynaudio C1 and Pass amp
IMO not enough uuumph for those speakers 
JBL lovers
Bad move.Been there,done it more than once.As a matter of fact just sold a pair of mc60s..Boring!!!If going vintage buy better speakers ie Tannoys.There are current speakers that will do what you want on all formats of music.IMO 
No love for the REL S series anymore?
Yea,even the B series is down.A B-3 sold on ebay the other for under $500in nice shape.IMO, the issue with the storm 3 is its flabby and slow,I think its because of the ported system unlike the Strata 3.You put it up against a great or even good s... 
Going monoblock?
Sell it and move on..but if you love the 252/famous mac house sound) dont buy the 452..I go with a 402 or 501s... 
No love for the REL S series anymore?
The last 3 Rel storm 3s on ebay were listed at "buy it now " at $700...no interest/no sales...the last one that actually sold was under $500 in wood...I never said they had build issues with that sub,just said it sounded bad.Compare it to the stra... 
Mcintosh Amps w/ B&W 801'S
Being a Mac amp owner (although its in the crate at present) and having heard the 800 series too many times IMO that combo is the wrong way to go.I would go with faster amps.Mac is just too slow and colored(famous mac house sound)and with the spea... 
No love for the REL S series anymore?
IMO, the storm is not one of their finest.Most recognize this and hence the lack of interest..Ive seen them as low as 450ish and still dont sell.I personally wouldnt want one again at any price
