New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid

I really like my speakers but I am considering an upgrade. I have B&W 801 S2 MkIII that I bought new in 1999 (re-coned with modded x-over). I’m afraid that what I get will not equal them and new may  just be different.

They are bi-amped with McIntosh up top and Krell on the bottom. Analog is Revox B77 and dig is Oppo 105D with Bryston DAC3.

I will also likely upgrade the DAC but this thread is about speakers.

I need a dynamic loudspeaker that is as good with chamber music as it is with acoustic jazz, rock and electronic music (everything but Country and Rap).

I haven’t heard anything yet but am considering Borrersen X3, Wilson Sasha and B&W 803 D4.

Should I be afraid or will these speakers all best a 25 yr old design?

you need to look at Legacy's way more dynamic then all of the speakers you mentioned and designed to be bi-amped with their wavelet processor

the signature se $9300 depending on finish are an incredible deal

 

very efficient 92db

high power handling 20watts to 300

very deep subwoofer level bass 22hz

can be bi-amplified.

state of the art heil AMT tweeter and midrange for incredible resolution and a huge soundstage.

stunning real wood finishes.

American made ,great service and support.
