b&w 803 or vr4jr, best match


looking for input for new speakers for a macintosh ma6900 integrated and an arcan cd192 combo. haven't had a chance to listen to either of these speakers. both are within budget. is there a big difference between the 803d and 803s? most of the mac dealers i know of around here tend to have the b&w. von schweikerts are a little more scarce.

My friend has the 803's and they are equipment dependent. With the wrong equipment they sounded like sh!^ but with the right equipment they sound wonderful. I am very sensitive to bright and sizzle tweeters and the 803's in his current system sound right. So much so, I can listen to his system for hours on end at varing sound levels without asking him to please turn the volume down. I have had to do that while listening to other friend's systems from time to time due to a overly bright sound.

YMMV, but I would believe the Mc owners if they say it marries up nicely with B&W.
