Thanks for the comprehensive response.

I have a couple of unused 75 Ohm BlackCat SilverStar MkII coax cables lying around, so could try these into the 818 (and, possibly, the dCS Bartok). One wonders whether the sound would be even better direct to the speakers, but that would be a lot of expensive coax cable for that experiment...
