B&W Signature 805
My 805 Sigs were powered by the McIntosh 352 amp and also I use the McIntosh C2200 (tube) preamp. These were were in my home. During that time I added a sub woofer to my system which really impressed me even more.Dave

I bought the exact cable used approx. 4 months ago and paid 500.00. I thought that was a good price to pay. I would grade mine either 8 or 9 out of 10.Dave 
JM Lab Mezzo or Red Rose classic??
I wish I new about the Red Rose, but I don't. I can only tell you this, the JM Lab Mezzo's I feel are one of the Best speakers I have ever heard. Your room size will work for the Mezzo's as I heard them in a smaller room then what you have and the... 
Just got my B&W Signature 805's long
I had the 805 sigs and the Rel Strata III is a perfect sub to add to your system. The Rel is very tight and fast and is a real compliment to any monitor. Did you go with the proper stands? This also will make a hugh difference in your bass respons...

Tube or SS preamp use with SS amp???
I run the 352 along with the C2200 and it was my choice as I liked the warmer non digital sound it creates. It will tame the 352's. I would like to know more about your system and running the pair of 352's and what the rest of your system might be... 
z squared any good?
I agree with Unclejeff, I have 2 pairs of the I.C's and they are keepers. They do require a number of hours for break-in. The first 20 hours were not exciting and then it seemed like someone opened the door and they started to come to life. I stil...
