COMPARE SPEAKERS: B&W 803D4 OR 802D4 TO ML RENAISSANCE ESL 15A


IT HAS BEEN TWO DECADES SINCE I OWNED ML SEQUELS AND PRODIGYS.  I AM CONSIDERING EITHER OF THESE SPEAKERS. 

1.PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR OPINION ON EITHER SPEAKER;

2. PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR SUGGESTIONS ON COMPATIBLE EQUIPMENT FOR EACH SPEAKER, KEEPING IN MIND I WOULD LIKE TO STREAM MUSIC.

I KNOW THIS IS VERY BROUD REQUEST, BUT MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THE 80'S AND 90'S AND EARLY 2000.

THANK YOU,

BOB

The B&W's seem to like a lot of power. I have older 802D's and am running them with a class AB amp rated at 250WPC for 8 ohms & 500WPC for 4 ohms. I haven't heard the D4's but suspect they like the older D's will be very transparent, so quality components are a must.
