I have been playing with this system for years now, and really hadn't been happy until the addition of the 800D's. The Diamond speakers are certainly the best thing that B&W has come out with yet. Still haven't decided if I'm sticking with high-res stuff. Finally have all signal cables from Synergistic and all power cables from Shunyata. Any suggestions are welcome.
System edited: Just finished adding all Synergistic Research Tesla signal cables to the system. Upgraded from Cardas Golden Ref's. Highly detailed and musical cables.
System matching is certainly the key. I been through a lot of highly regarded pieces that just didn't work in my system. I think a full Classe system wouldn't give me the sound I wanted, I know a full Levinson system didn't.
I'm using an Apollo WT-1. It has 3 pairs of holes, the outer 2 will go into standard 16" on center studs. I have a piece of granite under the TT, so I have at least 150lbs. on it. I tried it with my weight first though, 220, so I knew it would hold. No worries!
System edited: I've now done away with the high-res stuff, except for the handful of CLassic/Chesky stuff, added the Classe amps and changed stands. Now I'm considering some Valhalla cables. Anyone want to lend me some? :)
