B&W Matrix 801 S2 or B&W CDM 9NT
Hey Everyone,
I have an opportunity to upgrade my current fronts and I’m essentially choosing between a used pair of Matrix 801/II‘s and a used pair of CDM 9NT’s. The 801’s are slightly more expensive ($500 more) than the 9NT’s, but I was wondering which speaker might be the best fit for my setup. The 801’s also come with a set of anchor stands.
They would be used in a large finished basement, so space really isn’t an issue, I’m just worried about whether or not I have the requisite power to give the 801’s. Currently, I have a Marantz SR7008 which does 125 wpc and I would be bi-amping whatever I choose to purchase. Any advice is appreciated.
