A question on a B&W high pass filter

Hi Elee

I'll work on the original and then save up the money to upgrade the parts after listening to it for a bit. From the pictures on the Ken Rockwell site the box seems small and really tight space for a novice like me to work with.

I have seen the Golden Flutes appear on a popular auction site for about what you stated. The listing got pulled before I could ask about it.

The Krell unit looks nice but huge. I only saw it on an old Audiogon listing from a year or so ago. I think the Krell unit will cost significantly more than what I paid for the Matrix 805 bookshelf speakers.

Have you heard of the Anodyne filter that was made for the B&W 800 series speaker line? Another member had told me about it but I couldn't find much info about Anodyne. I guess they were a boutique maker who is now out of business.

Thanks again.

I 'm aware of the Anodyne unit, but have never seen one for sale. I'm currently using the Listen Up Maugham Box for my 801 SII, haven't updated my system picture though. Not positive, but I believe they only made it for the 801 model.

Oddly enough, when I got my 801's, the High Pass Filter came with the speakers, although they were supposed to be an extra. However, I was given the Filter for the 802. I used this off & on for years.

When I got the Maugham box, the improvement was subtle but noticeable-deeper, tighter bass, with an improved sense of bass tone and notes. I miss that extra depth without the filter.

Good luck.

They are not noisy at all. Turn volume up with nothing playing,quite.and work great

I have one that  has XLR and is labeled

Matrix 801

Professional

High-Pass

Alignment

Filter

When I open them both up,the Pro model has more than twice as many components in it

 

Anyone see this one?
