Synergistic Research B&W spec series
I am using an 8 ft pair of spec 7's with my 802N's and am really pleased with them. Great clarity and they take a bit of the brightness out of the presentation. Need to use the MPC. 
Shunyatas New CX series

What do you think about Audioquest Volcano?
I could not disagree more with Asians post. I have sky interconnects throughout my system and have a pair of B and W 802's dbl bi wired on my fronts. The sound is jaw dropping. Alot has been written about this combination. I am in agreement. It's ... 
Acram dv29?
Derrill-I had the same problem and it turned out that I needed to upgrade to the latest software version- 5.26. You can get a disk from your local dealer- super easy to install- get directions though. I LOVE THIS PLAYER- the Marantz is a piece of ...
