B&W 800D or ATC 150 Passive


Buying new speakers and its down to 2 types: B&W 800D and the ATC 150 (passive). These will be driven by 2 vintage McIntosh MC275's with a vintage McIntosh C22 pre-amp. Primary content is turntable with Lyra MC cartridge and Lyra step up transformer.

What is the recommended loudspeaker?

I'm sorry to tell you that with your lovely Mc combo,you will hear 10 or maybe 15% of the real potentials of both the speakers you mentioned.
I would personally go for a pair of actives 150....you can always drive them with an high quality valve preamp ;)
