Dynaudio vs B&W help...

Thanks both of you for those indepth responses!!! 

Would my avr AVR be strong enough to power the 804's sufficiently? That is my main concern with them. The 600XD has way more power (600 watts). 

Overall sound quality and clarity is what I'm after. Doesn't necessarily have to be the loudest of the 2 per se. 

Thanks again!

Freedriver, a few reasons: I guess I just presumed the 804's would be a better speaker than a passive Dynaudio. Size, I didn't want an overly large tower. Both were available and about the same price. 

I love over the look of the 804's, and I guess I would prefer them. But, if my CXR wouldn't sufficiently run them, I'd throw the 600 XD in the mix. Then, the AVR would just just run my center and process everything. 

Another option is a Focal 1028 BE 2... ugh, so many options!!! 

If I may add... My current set up sounds decent at med to higher volumes. At lower volumes, which I listen to the most, doesn't sound that good. 

My my car on the other hand, has an amazing (factory) sound system. It sounds incredible no matter how quiet, or loud I play it. I would LOVE to replicate that in my house. 

Is this a speaker quality issue, or are the car systems just like that because they're built around the acoustics of the car? 

Hey everyone... I just realized I made a newbie mistake... The B&W I am considering are the 804 D3, the newest version. NOT the D2 version. Idk if the above comments will still apply to both the D2 and D3 versions.

I apologize for wasting your time for those that helped me!

I’m still contemplating the 804D3’s and the 1028’s. The Revel are a little too tall (I need a tower 43" or shorter).

So, going smaller (like a bookshelf speaker) wouldn't be better at lower levels?

i get hardly any bass at the lower levels. If I set the bass boost higher on the AVR, then its too much when I do raise it.

Mtrot, do you think adding a separate, quality sub would help me at lower volumes? 

Ok thx!
