More info for the new B&W nautilus 805
Straight from the tech expert at B&W: the sig 805 and new 805 are esentially the same with out the nice finish. Will they, I didn't think so, but yes. It sounds as though they have. I believe the crossover is slightly different as well.Kill th... 
Order to Shut out or Light on a System?
I just leave everything on, all the time. 
using different amps for Bi-amping ,any good ?? l
You can really tweak the sound of your system using two different amps. A lot of people will put solid state on the bottom end and tubes on the top for midrange and highs. My best suggestion is to borrow/demo to try any amps you are considering an... 
Downsizing-Need Integrated Amp Advice
I wouldn't be too concerned with the weight of the amplifier, after all, it's how it sounds to you, not how much it weighs. I own the A3, and would say the A3.2 would be a great match for your speakers. The other integrated I was going to suggest ... 
Best way to attach speaker to stand?
If you are able to drill holes in the top plate of the stand, you might be best off to set the speaker right on the stand and bolt it right to the top plate. Similar to the way B&W speakers mount to their matching stands. 
What would be the weakest link in this setup
I would try a YBA amplifier in your system. They seem to mate well with JM Labs speakers. If that was my system, the amp would be the first to go. 
Suggestions for B&W 800N
I've heard krell/b&w systems sound awesome, with the right krell amp. I think the FPB 600 would be a great choice. However, I'm am convinced that B&W/Classe is one of the best setups around. That would be my first choice if I was in the ma... 
Amplifiers with Thiel Speakers
Musical Fidelity likes to use Thiel when they demo their products to people. 
B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?
I can assure you that you are not just paying for cosmetics. I've had both in my room. There are drastic differences between the two. The signature uses a different cabinet, different woofer, different tweeter, different crossover, and different s...

Krell/BMW model designations?
Is an M5 just like the M3, but only in the 5 series? 
Best PRaT CD Player for $600 or less ??
I've owned the Mimik before. It's a good player, but I don't know about PRAT. Definitely try to audition a Rotel 1072. I was sceptical at first, but not anymore. It may be a mid fi company, but this is one sweet player. 
Active studio monitors. Nobody has them. Why?
Don't forget, that as audiophiles, this is a hobby. One that we all like to explore. It's tough to switch out amplifiers when your speakers are active... 
Position for B&W sig. 805
Mine are just ever so slighty. The tweeters do not point directly at me. Every room will be different. I would just experiment and what happens.. 
Why even bother?
Not every station is compressed, there are some uncompressed signals. On top of that, that would be like asking a vinyl-phile why he even has a cd player in his system...
