Musical Fidelity with B&W
I know that Krell_man has that combination. Also, I had the 308 integrated for a while with B&W Signature 805s, and currently, I'm using the A3 integrated with the new 805S speakers. Very happy with the A3, I'm hoping I like the 805S as much a... 
4 Ohm Speakers, 8 Ohm Amps
It will be fine. Most 8 ohm speakers dip to below 4 ohms anyway.. Any decent amplifier can handle a 4 ohm load without much difficulty. If it were mine, I wouldn't think twice about doing it. I've owned numerous 4 ohms speakers before, without any... 
Tube Pre with remote and 2 pairs of outputs
If you can find one, I know the Anthem Pre2L have two sets of outputs and a remote.. Made by Sonic Frontiers. I was fairly happy with mine, but the remote sucks, and consequently never really got used by me.. 
Is "warm" a compliment or a criticism?
Too much of anything is always a bad thing. If something is too warm, most anyone won't like it. Personally, I like a warmer sound. But, that's just me. Depends on what type of sound you like. I usually take it as a compliment. 
Paradigm or B&W?
Well, I hope you aren't planning on buying the sigs new, cause they don't make them anymore. I'm in the process of breaking in the new 805S which is supposed to compare to the sig. (I've had the sigs twice, so I'm fairly familiar with how they sou... 
Are "Redbook Only " CD players Obsolete?
Rotel RCD 1072 is a perfect example of why that is not the case. A standard redbook only cd player. I have yet to hear a player that can touch it's performance for the same amount of money. Universal or otherwise. Does that mean there isn't one? N... 
OEM Automobile Systems - How do you rate them?
FWIW, the Infinity system in the Chrysler is actual a Delco with the Infinity named slapped on the front.. 
Jeff Rowland Concerto Integrated Amp
The brand new B&W 805 speaker may be just what you are looking for. I really liked the synergy of the B&W/Rowland system I heard. With a good pair of stands, you'd have a system that would be tough to beat without spending a whole lot more... 
Rotel, Odyssey, or Classe with N805's
The classe will have awesome synergy with the B&W's. I cannot recommend that combination enough. 
Paradigm Sudio 100's v3 upgrade questions
I think if you upgrade to the anthem, you'll be more happy with the performance of your speakers. They can accept some very high quality power and still shine. I would say the cd player is also holding you back. Anthem is owned by paradigm and the... 
CD player - skips and static pops ... related?
Sounds like maybe a good laser cleaning might do the trick. 
Audiogon and the Hi-Fi Mags
Stereophile and TAS are in the market of selling new equipment. If manufacturers aren't selling equipment, they aren't buying ad space in the mags. Audiogon is a used market, primarily. The manufacturers don't want to see their advertising space l... 
Would anyone respond???
Warrenh, I don't always agree with what you have to say, but I will say this. If there was any one person on audiogon that I could confidently say was happy with their system, it's you. Being totally happy with your system and not wanting to chang... 
Krell Fpb 600 power amp
If used correctly, I don't think you can ever have too much power. It's having too little power and pushing it too hard that causes damage. 
Thoughts on the new B&W 800D series speakers
Millenium, have you heard the new B&W line? They are quite a bit better than the old line. I think you might have a little different feeling about the bass if you had.
