I sold my B&Ws for the same reason. You need to play loud to open up the speakers. I switched to Wilsons. The B&Ws play very well but only at loud volumes. I owned 801s w. FPB 600 and then tried w. VTL 750s. Always enough power but poor sound at low volumes.
Lamm M2.2 instead Krell EVO 302
Hello!
My current set up consists of Wadia 581 SE, ARC L26 preamp, Krell EVO 302 power amp and B&W 802d loudspeakers (biwired). All wiring is silver made, Sumic Audio from Croatia. I somehow have a feeling that B&W 802d are power hungry and that Krell EVO 302 cannot drive them sufficiently unless listen on higher volumes. Therefore, I am considering to replace the power amp with Lamm M2.2 monoblocks. Do you think it is a good idea?
I LISTEN to all kind of music, but jazz and r'n'r are "my favorite things" :)
Thank you in advance for opinions!
