power amp/pre amp input and output impedence question
The rule of thumb is the input impedance should be at least 10 times the output impedance! 
What is a non-active pre-amp stage?? Are their advantages to this design??
You might not get enough volume using a phono preamp with a passive preamp. It all depends on the gain of the phono preamp and the output of the cartridge that you are using. The remote will work on all the sources that are being used!

Swap the left and right channel tubes. Start with the AU7. If no popping then swap the AX7.

Quicksilver Mono 120 vs. Quicksilver V4
My friend replaced his ARC HD220 ( hybrid ) with the QS 120’s. With his Proac D48r’s they are outstanding! 
Why bookshelf type speakers are high end
I say stop listening to Hertz and start listening to music ! 
Keep SVS SB16 or change to REL S5 music only
Not all speakers integrate well with a subwoofer. You might be better off not using a subwoofer with the B &W! You might be spinnin' your wheels changing to another sub! 
How do I price used speakers? (Nautilus 800)
If those speakers were $16,000 new and they are 13 years old, you should ask $8000. The shipping on a 275 LB speaker will cost a small fortune so you should list them with local pickup!http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0802/bwnautilu...
