How serious are you?
Instead of how much someone has spent on gear, I base how serious a fellow audiophile is based on: Dedicated room? Dedicated line? Meticulous setup? Sit motionless in the sweet spot, with eyes closed? No distractions, nothing but listening. ... 
Luxman D03X vs D10X
@phillyb  Exactly my findings! Center fill, bass, vocals all improved when phase is corrected.  
Luxman D03X vs D10X
@jafant Thank you. Happy listening to you too, my friend!  
Luxman D03X vs D10X
@jafant  Very nicely! It sounds wonderful. Love the "Invert Phase" button. Try it on every song. About half of the songs I've listened to sound better with it engaged. Thank you for asking.  
Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage?
Similar to the above posters, also using a Radio Shack meter. "C" weighted, fast response. Measured at the listening seat. Peak levels are almost always between 80 and 85 dB, regardless of genre. Quieter passages are obviously less. Most music is...

Best amplifier for low to moderate listening levels
For a preamp, I'm using the Topping Pre90. 130 dB S/N! Amazing clarity. I think you would be happy with it too.  
Best amplifier for low to moderate listening levels
I am very happy with a PS Audio S300 amp (300W/ch/4 ohms, stable to 2 ohms) driving the mids and tweeters, and a pair of PS Audio M1200 monoblocks (1200W/4 ohms, stable to 2 ohms) driving the woofers of my B&W 803 D3. I think you would be ver...
