A friend of mine used some bricks to lift the 801's (II) a couple of inches, and he swears it's the improvement of the century. I don't know, his gear just sounds better then mine anyway. Only drawback is that it looks ugly, but since bricks are free (just don't remove them from my house please!) I guess it's worth the try.....
B&W 801 speaker stands, do they help?
Has anybody had any experince with stand for the 801. I see sound anchors has some for about $600 but I don't really want to spend that much. Do they really give you a $600 dollar improvement in sound ? Is there really a big differnce in the bass or overall sound of the speaker with stands ? I am using the supplied spikes right now.
I have owned this pair of B&W 801 series II speakers since new from 1988. I had the bass filter box and thought it muddied the bass so I got rid of it. (although it could have been the room at the time ) I have had 2 or 3 different amps since 1988 and other equipment. Any suggestions? Does anyone have stands for sale? Thanks!
