North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?

I hope that many of you are still interested in the NC external XO and periodically read this post -- 10 years later!

I recently acquired a pair of 801 S3's with NC XO's and Sound Anchor stands. The speakers have a bottom plate on them. Not sure what is on inside. The tri-wire NC plate is attached where the old B&W bi-wire plate used to be. The terminals stick out beyond the back of the speaker prohibiting me from flipping them on that side without doing some damage due to the weight of the speaker. Other than that, there are no issues.

I have no clue where the old parts are, so if I had to sell to a collector, I am out of luck and will have to sell the package. Please do not hold your breath. I cannot compare the sound of the addition of the XO's since I got the whole package. However, compared to stock 802 S3, which I replaced, there is a world of difference. Detail, sound stage, and base. ENJOY THE MUSIC!

Just curious about the internal wiring. How much difference will the internal wiring make compared to stock?

I have much to up-grade. Current system includes:

Oppo 95 with volume control
Geek Pulse DAC also with volume control
Yamaha MX - 1 amp (no preamp as my turntable is kaput)
B&W 801 S3 with NC XO's

Any suggestions on the Amp?

Tahoe,

Elee,

I assume your response was to me previous note above regarding amps. If so any specific used models?
