Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both?
@mylogic  "Big mouths...".  "Tongue-in-cheek..." HAHAHA!!!   
Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best?
@curthuff  Had the same experience adding two JL Audio powered subs alongside my B&W803 D3. More bass, more space (larger soundstage). Very happy.

Tilting B&W 802D speakers slightly forward or backward
Why do you feel the need to tilt them? I own the 803D3.  They don't seem to be designed to be tilted.  
Help! Pre amp turning on by itself.
We've got a ceiling fan that does that too. I'm guessing another remote. Because of your handle, Winoguy, are you sure you haven't been indulging a bit too much?...:)
