Musical Fidelity is really makin me mad
Have you tried calling your country's distributor? 
Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,
Audiolabyrinth, I believe you are confused about Grey9hounds amp. His Emotiva LPA-1 is a multichannel amp that he is using 4 separate channels of the 6 or 7(configurable) to bi-amp his speakers. Also, you are actually single wire with jumpers on y...

Grey9hound, I totally agree and apologize for being out of line trying to evaluate your entire system. I should have just answered your specific question. Guess I’m turning into a cantankerous old man. For what it’s worth, and you care to give me ... 
If not B&W 802 speakers then what speakers?
Dynamic range is important for HT, and since your room is large, you would benefit from a speaker with higher efficiency. No doubt these would improve dynamic range and coherency of your system. Matching center and rears are available.http://homet...

“Soon to be marantz av 8801”, then I assume you’re still using the Pioneer AVR. That should be a nice upgrade. Give it some time before you think about speakers.You have a excellent match with the 804s and the HTM3s. The HTM3s is as close as you c...

How about listing your complete system.

Grey9hound, happy that you’re pleased with the changes to your system. “You might be surprised at what pricey cables can do for a system that is not high end ...like mine .”I do have quite a bit of experience with cables, from personal systems, fr...

I have experienced how cables can alter sound, better, worse, and sometimes just different, but don't understand why someone would use cables that are more expensive than the equipment. Makes better sense to spend the money on better equipment.

Looking for good match to Cayin TA-30
Guess I’m curious as to why you would even consider Bach Grands with the TA-30. Recommended power is 50-300 into a 4 ohm load. Sounds like the speaker needs high current SS, or much higher tube power than the TA-30. Will it play with some volume i... 
What, if any, component to upgrade? Advice?
I totally agree with Lloydelee21. Your speakers have what I would consider minimum power, and adding a more powerful amp would be beneficial in many ways. To change speakers, then you need one with a much higher sensitivity, maybe 96dB or higher. 
Advice on Equipment Upgrade
Definitely worth your time to try the Mac preamp. Hopefully you're talking about a newer one, as it would be a perfect match for the 352. Also, here's some additional info I found. Prima Luna power amps have an input impedance of 100k, which resul... 
Advice on Equipment Upgrade
I don't disagree with any of the other comments, however I still think the pre/power impedance match is less than what is considered to be an acceptable minimum. Take a look at this thread, especially the first response by Almarg.http://forum.audi... 
Advice on Equipment Upgrade
Something that concerns me is the impedance match of preamp and power amp, 2.8k to 20k. I've always read that the power amp should be at least 10 times greater than the preamp. I did have a combination in the past that was less than 10 times, and ...
