Does It have to be loud?
No, it doesn't have to be loud. I listen typically anywhere between 60 and 75 dBs, and it is plenty loud for me. Could I play it louder and as clean (i.e., without distortion) on my system? Sure, but I see little point to it. The fact is that the ... 
Rythmik subwoofer
I had an L12. It was defective, so I returned it for a refund. Went to a JL Audio e110, and it's far superior to the Rhythmik. Just my $0.02. 
Anyone Using Crystals?
Remember the words of P.T. Barnum ... "there's a sucker born every minute." 
D to A converter purchase....
"I would buy a piece of Schiit ..." Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh. :-) 
Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled?
I initially had Transparent cables with B&W/Rotel equipment. It sounded the same as yours ... lifeless. After going through a number of different cable brands, I've settled on Cardas Golden Reference. The sound is wonderful. You may wish to gi...

5x20mm. Will use 250v. Thanks. 
Is there a user solution?

Subwoofer to go with new BW 804 D3
I agree with the recommendation of the JL Audio e110 or e112. I'm using an e110 with my B&W N804s and it packs quite a punch. 
Question About Fuse Markings
Thanks. Any idea what the fuse voltage would be and where I can purchase them in the USA?

UPDATE ... Success! I called B&W and they said the rubber surround might be sticking to the front of the speaker because of age. So, SWMBO suggestee that I use the eraser end of a pencil to push from the back and exert a little pressure. Bingo... 
How to replace FST Driver
I did. However, the manual doesn't show what tools, if any, are needed. For example, when I loosen and remove the large, silver screw cover (which is supposed to hold the midrange rod in place), everything remains tight and the driver stays in pla... 
Opinions on Possible New Set Up
BTW, I'm also running a JL Audio e110 subwoofer through the high pass, so loss of bass should not be an issue. 
Opinions on Possible New Set Up
Headphones just ain't my bag. 
Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i
If the 6H30 performs close to solid state, then why not just get a solid state component in the first place? 
Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i
I did some tube rolling and, in the end, settled on the Platinum Grade Russian 6H23 Rocket Logo tubes. They’re the same as the 6922 (just a different designation), and really sound excellent. Also, I really like the Visseaux 6V6 and the Pope 6V6. ...
