Is McIntosh 6900 enough for B&W 802D?
Nice deal on a Mac 7270 right now. Should be sweet onsome 802D's or Vandy's. 
Primare I30 and B&W 803D, enough power??
Got a Tact M2150 for my 802D's and it sounds wonderful!Should do the same for your 803's.Can be had in your price range used. (If you can find one) 
AntiCables v. Morrow?
TVAD,Keep us posted. I don't want to spend extra on the speaker cables if the SP3's are sort of a "sweet spot" in the line. 
AntiCables v. Morrow?
Hiendmuse,Thanks, I will check with him tomorrow. Yea, I will let him burn them in as I don't want to go through thatagain! It would probably drive me nuts with my new speakers. 
Blue ray player with good audio
Denon 3800 BDCI. Good enough to replace my Rega Apollo for CD playback. Super Blu Ray pictureas well. 
802d for a 10x13 room, 8ft ceiling - am I nuts?
After a full day of tweaking the 802's, I will also have to agree with James63 on distance fromwalls. I am starting to pull out further into the roomand the bass is smoothing out and getting tighter.I'm at 3' now (front of speaker to back wall)and... 
802d for a 10x13 room, 8ft ceiling - am I nuts?
Hi Shipervarg,As Lapierre pointed out, they are a pretty massivespeaker, and may or may not make somewhat of an "Over" statementin your room. Hard to call! You want to make sure beforedropping that much $$, unless you can buy from a localdealer, a...

AntiCables v. Morrow?
Have to agree 100% with Hiendmuse, as I went from Anti Cablesto Morrow SP3's & MAP 3 XLR's. Outstanding cables. I amthinking of trading up the the SP4's on his trade upprogram. 
Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker?
I am going to suggest the Castle Howard S3, not becauseI am a happy new owner (And I am as of yesterday) butbecause I think they match your requirements in every department. I have a similar size room, and they are incredible.Super tight & dee... 
Speakers for 3K
Slinker,Have you found a place to buy the Pioneers?? 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
1000 Yea..... I think I will buy some OHM's now. 
Best new or used speakers for under 3K?
After looking again at your room size, the Bostonsmay be a bit to large!? They stand 6'5" tall. BUT theyalso can be wall mounted if that is an option for you.Then they are only $2500 (shipped) without bases. 
Best new or used speakers for under 3K?
Easy.... Boston Acoustics E-100's. Killer sounding (and looking)speakers no body knows about. Not much out there on them, but they were a statement speaker for Boston,that I guess just did not sale. But for reference, I had the Def Tech Mythos STS... 
Best tubes for Jolida 1501 RC?
Tung Sols worked good in mine. Did not try others, but theTungs made the stock tubes sound like garbage.
