B&W 803 Nautilus -HELP

I agree with Lucynbarney's solution to better stereo sound: your pre amp: I also use a Bryston pre amp (the sp 1.7)with Nautilus 805s and the stereo sound is breathtaking. (also using arcam fmj 23 cd player). the sp 1.7 has complete analoge signal path including volume control w/separate power supply, truly great two channel sound. outclasses the TAG.

Don't sell the speakers, you really should have two didicated systems. I use an Anthem AVM 20 ver2.1 for HT & a Bryston BP25 for my Stereo. I use Nautilus 802's for my two channel system and the CDM NT series for my HT. B&W is awesome. Rotel amplification works best with all B&W's with the exception of the 800 series, which works best with Classe. By the way B&W-Rotel-Classe are all the same company, and are all distributed through the same distributors. In all store & show setups you will see only their products together. Joe Atkins B&W chairman (owner) runs everything, he even owns the distribution side of things... Equity International. That's why all their products may not be bought through mailorder, they control everything.

Good Luck

The 803s are not your problem ,look at your components try a classe amp and a cj tube preamp for examples

Yeah, what Lafish said...scrap the Tag as a 2 channel pre...it doesn't cut it.

It's the amp. I'm sure. Sell it to me.

OR

GET A DEDICATED STEREO PREAMP, AS HAS BEEN SAID. aLWAYS LOOK FOR THE COMMON THREAD. eVERYTHING IS GOOD IN MULTI CHANNEL, NOT GOOD IN STEREO. WHAT CHANGED? AMP? SPEAKERS? sOURCE? nOT EVERY MULTI CHANNEL PRE/PROC DOES AS GOOD A JOB IN STEREO. I'D LOOK AT THAT ASPECT. gETTING A PRE/PROC WITH "BYPASS" FOR STEREO IS JUST WHAT i'M GOING TO BE DOING.

LUCK.
