B&W vs Vandersteen?
Daverz, I heard Quatro many times and never liked 'em. Unlike models 3 and 5 it always sounded "small" to me. Maybe it was a set up. With Vandies Quatro or Five you never know if it's the the way the crossover was set up that you're hearing or the... 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
Folks, thanx for all your responses, thoughts and impressions. I nearly bought the Vandies, however teh guy who sold 'em could not deliver them for a few days and that gave me time to make a final comparison. Different dealers', different rigs but... 
Which cables for McIntosh - B&W system?
Tvad, what I'm saying is that this combo allready sounds right and it doesn't need doctoring the sound, just bringing out the most out if it. 
Mac 402 or 501 for B&W 802D?
Folks I'm blown away with 802's at my recent audition at a friends home (with 501 by the way!) so I'm definetely getting them. Are there better "bang for the buck" speaker-amp combos? Sure, but I simply love those. Everest_audio is right, I have a... 
B&W 802D Floor Spikes??
So do they cost extra money or not? I was told today that they cost $200 for EACH speaker! Which means $400 for both! What are they made of? Diamond? 
B&W 801 Matrix or JBL L150
How does the earlier 801 series 80 compares? There is a local guy selling it for a good price. 
B&W 801 Matrix vs 802D?
How do the 801 series 80 fit in? Much worse than 801 Matrix? 
Speaker cables for Vandersteen 3A Signature?
Yesterday a guy told me that if you remove the screws from the connectors on Vandies than you can stick the bananas right in! Is it true? 
Pre and power amp for Vandersteen 3A Signature?
How do you connect 2 subs to one amp? And does Vandersteen provide a manual how to blend the subs with 3A Signature? 
B&W 801 Matrix or JBL L150
How would you describe 801 series 3 compared to modern N802? Did 802 lack the bass or the scale or 801? 
Is McIntosh 6900 enough for B&W 802D?
Sure I know I can do better. The question is can it play decent sound with 802's until it gets an upgrade or will it sound like crap? 
Is McIntosh 6900 enough for B&W 802D?
When I mean decent I mean not sounding like the amp is dying, I mean clean natural bass, mids and highs. I heard underpowered B&W's (800D in particular) - they sounded like utter garbage so I know what happens when B&W's don't receive enou... 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
Did you have 802Ds? What were you running them with? 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
Stringreen, you said you dumped 802's for Vandies - which ones? With what amps and why? In what way the Vandies were better? 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
One more final question, folks - which speakers produce BIGGER image, soundstage, particulary drums? After living with JBL 150 for quite a while with their 12 inch woofers I'm kinda used to the BIG drum sound....)))
