Well, looks like there's some progress made here - Dancer's cleaned up his spellings! He's writing "bass" now instead of "base". :-) Maybe the brain-crunching to decide 803 or 804 finally undid the brain-knot that was creating incorrect spellings??

I just found the musicallity of the 801 Matrix addictive..I do realize B&W has made many changes since,so I may be out of touch a bit.....yup, you sure did! THOSE were the best speakers B&W ever made. And, they were during the time when John Bowers himself was still alive. Every version of speaker thereafter has been worse & worse & worse sonically to the point that there is no soul left in these speakers. They are just a manuf & marketer's dream in terms of the cool materials they can use & the words that they can use to sell it to (unsuspecting) consumers. This from a former B&W owner. Of course, my personal opinion. YMMV. I know that many folks here love/like B&W. Nothing wrong with that at all......
