Either one is a downgrade from your current speakers. What do you like about the B&W over your paradigms? B&W is not really a high end speaker even though they make models that get up there in price. dollar for dollar there are so many better speakers out there.
800D vs 800 D2 setup?
Folks,
I need the collective wisdom to weigh in as I am at a cross roads. I listen to a lot of 2 channel, would be a base head to most. Current l/c/r is paradigm studio 100s V5 with cc690 center and 2 rhythmic f15s. room size is 40 by 30 with 11 ft ceilings used for tv/theatre/2channel. Set on black, I prefer gloss over black.
Option 1. 800D and the Monsterous HTM1D
pros: HTM1D is massive, talk about prescense.
cons: panio is not available, > 5 years old, age,
option 2 800 D2 with htm2
pros: painio available, < 5 years old, looks better without grills,
cons: no matchig htm1d, htm2 just looks wimpy to 800s
About the same between both:
- cost is +/- couple k between the 2 options.
- comparing between 2 setups is impossible
-
What would you do? Older or newer? I may have answered myself since I listen to 2 channel and the economics say put less in the center channel.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
