Wanted to buy. B&W CM2's
Buy instead a used pair of B&W CM10s or CM9s. Many will start to come up for sale as soon as the community hears the CM10 IIs and CM9 IIs. These sound as good as the 802Ds

McIntosh MX-121 won't play mono DTS-HD
This Mc unit can sense if the format was originally recorded in mono and in some cases if it was not you cannot override it. The unit is crap. Immediately contact me so I can trade you a $1000 processor which will play mono. 
Got the Speakers, Now what?
Are you wanting to play DJ or listen to LPs?
