First you have to understand that every speaker can give a level in sound. I always you use % to make it more understandable. A speakers has his own properties/talents. Wenn you want to use them all you need an amp who can give this. Wenn you would use the Marantz you would be able to get about 30% out of the speaker in quality. We always use a rule how much you need to spent to an amp for the speakers you own. Integrated amp/ power pre has to be at least half of the price of the front speakers. Wenn you have a surround amp you need to:3 to get the level of your surr amp can give as a integrated amp. I played for over 8 years with the 802N and 800S. I would not want B&W anymore. because wenn you want to get higher in sound. Depth is a very important part what should be there in highend sound. Depth is the weakest point of B&W. Because the filter they make are not good enough to give a wide and deep stage.
B&W 802d Misleading Information and Scammers
Hello,
I am relatively new to this forum. About two months ago I decided after hearing some 802d speakers that I would invest in a pair. I read up everyday on different forums on this site and others about peoples opinions on these speakers but mainly about how to run them. I was convinced after so much talk that my 802d would not run on my Marantz sl7300 (100wpc) receiver. Anyways after setting them up just to test I was surprised that they still sounded very good, granted that I do have to turn it right up to get some substance out of it.
I am going to upgrade the cable and put a power amplifier in but I thought if there was anyone else out there in a similar situation to me that this information would be some peace of mind.
The other thing that I found was that when trying to purchase these speakers that almost everybody on ebay selling them was a scammer and for some reason unknown to me paypal is not a preferred method to be paid, where is the guarantee that you will get your goods?? Has anybody else had run ins with who they think were scammers?
