I have the old B&W 802d's. I also have the older, first generation, Bryston 14bsst amp (now 15 years old). Both of them are performing well and are in mint shape. My question is this: I am interested in the new Bryston 14cubed amp...and I am also interested in the new B&W 802D'3. But I can't afford to do both. Should I focus on getting the amp first or the speakers? Please, I don't need to be told to buy amps or speakers other then the ones I am asking about as I am a big fan of my system. I just know that B&W has reworked their D series and that Bryston has done the same with their amps. thanks, Jim
Lots of variables such as tastes, room amplification etc. All of the B&W measurements I have seen are absolutely not a neutral frequency response. Obviously they voiced this way on purpose. I'm not saying it's wrong.
What preamp are you using with the Bryston? Another thing to consider would be a nice tube preamp for your front end. This would definitely give you a nice change in flavor.
