Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4?
They are clear and sound big.  Excellent bass for a small enclose.  They are paired with a McIntosh MA 8950    You should try to listen to a pair , it’s an expensive proposition to buy either so if you can demo it’s worth the effort.   
Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4?
I recently set up a pair of Electa Amator III for my Dad.   These speakers are special.   Beautiful sounding , build quality is off the chart.   Haven't heard the latest B&W 804 but I lean more toward the SF sound anyway.... I don't think you... 
Martin Logan 13A's with Rel subs? A match?

I have set several REL up with REL Speakon type connector.  Typically you will connect the Red lead to the Right Positive post , the Yellow to the Left Positive post .    If the Amp is a true balanced differential Do Not connect the Black lead to ... 
Krell DUO 300XD and REL SUB wiring question.
Agree , the speaker level connection is the way to go.  I believe if the amps are fully balanced. Meaning true balanced differential , you do not connect the Black wire.  Connect the Red pigtail to Right's Pos Red and Yellow pigtail to Left Pos Re...

Your Ultimate Phono Preamp: Which One Would You Choose?
Apt 1 was a great preamp in the day.   I bought one used , it was my first real preamp.   I regret selling that and the Amp 1  
Sonus Faber Question
Big fan of Sonus Faber.   From their modestly priced speakers all the way up the chain they deserve a great amp.    I just gave my brother my Concertos and he is loving them.   My Dad has a pair of Elector Amatar  III and they are pretty amazing ... 
What is your front end ?
Thanks Sabih !    The Aurender with my DAC is a strong argument in favor of an all digital system, but I think if that turntable had a better cartridge I'm sure it would better digital on really great recordings.  I have a number of records that s...
