DM6
Its 4 years on since my review above in 2017. I decided to check out the sound of B&W new reference speakers 801 D1. The new ones cost 25 times the price since the DM6 were the reference speakers originally in 1975 I believe. I bought mine in 1978 when the 801 was all the rage. This is my own opinion as a lover of classical music.
The new ones clearly demonstrated a much improved soundstage over the DM6 but are no way near the natural uncolored musicality of the DM6. I feel it may depend on the genre of music you like to hear. Its about individual preference in what you are hearing. I upgraded my naims to 82 preamp and a hycap recently and bought a Kuzma Stabi S, turntable which replaces the linn sondek. Its fitted with low output mc ZYX bloom cartridge. Very satisfied with the results. See no reason for changes in the foreseable future.
