I will try a few of these methods and look to jump the other posts and just double up on the canare. I will let you know my thoughts...I did catch a quick read from Nordost last night about jumping bi or tri wire posts and with the tri wire the me... 
amp for b&w 804 "s" with htm4 "s" 200 watts....
Another good amp which is also THX certified are the B&K 200.5 or 200.7 Reference amps which have plenty of power to drive those speakers and are very affordable 
Speaker cables for 4 ohm speakers
So let me get this straight...My Canare cables are already terminated with spades...run them all to only one set of speaker terminals and jump the remainder???...Since these speakers have tri-wire capability, would it make a difference on which te... 
Upgrade has begun. Questions.
I second the Oppo 93... I am a proud owner and thats mostly what I listen to..concert DVDs and streaming Youtube...If I could I would pull the trigger on the 95 just for the enhanced audio side of the unit for two channel purposes...

used b&w 703's vs. demo 804S's HELP
I too agree with Lewinskih, but with caution and additional expense. As my suggestion was purely introductary to the new purchase of your speakers and would be pleasant for home theater use as well as music. As mentioned above in my post...the mor...

used b&w 703's vs. demo 804S's HELP
The 804S sold for $4K retail 5 years ago...For $3500 I would say not, but they are good speakers..I would hold out for the other 800 series you are looking for as you will score a pair of 801 or 802's for $5k and its worth every penny. Don't waste...

Patience is the key...Have you demo these speakers yet?? The Magnolia Stores around you might carry these or find one that does...You do have a Diamond dealer in Jacksonville (Sound Installation) just north of you or (Premier Electronics Solutions...

Try this guy too...he use to be one here, he has now gone to Ebay for whatever reason. I have spoken to him several times about his items and my needs about my system and its conception. Very nice and easy to deal with and he usually gets some rea...
