B&W Matrix 802 series 2 vs series 3 vs ATC SCM40
Hmm - there's a lot of hammering in the above about the 802 S2 with feeble bass & the Bass-alignment filter being rubbish. I've had the 802 S2 for 18 yrs now & in the last 2 years, I did a lot of work related to the B&W Bass-alignment ... 
A question on a B&W high pass filter
B'coz a lot of fellas used to read this & RUN on the wrong road. 
A question on a B&W high pass filter
Has any of you ever bothered to check why the stock B&W Filter sucks? Guess not or else these comments wouldn't be posted. Look at the puny power-supplies that barely can do 50-100mA. Open that filter’s hood & take a deep look at the crap ... 
Pushing the envelope on B&W 802 series3
A small word of caution: If you were to try the Filter to augment the low freq, it actually works much better with the series-2 801 & 802. The series-3 has small differences in crossover topologies over the series-2. And the series-2 also had ... 
Ideal amp for B&W matrix 800
Am using the Matrix 800 with Symphonic Line Kraft amps. Yeah! they're expensive BUT they offer the finesse to the last word! On my earlier Matrix 801 and 802, they too were excellent. A lovely match to the B&Ws IMHO. 
Any experiences with FM Acoustics Preamps
Gregm :That's a nice assurance !! I appreciate it. By the way, someone mentioned to me today that the best ever preamp he'd experienced with the Kraft was the hyper-expensive & exotic Dynaudio Arbiter preamp but this is not in my league. Anybo... 
Any experiences with FM Acoustics Preamps
Gregm:Thanks for your feedback. None of the FM preamps are remote. The RG3-MK4 is with remote. Probably you may have used the RG3 which could be the MK3 version considering it was 3 yrs back. I've come across some Kraft owners who are using Sym-Li... 
Amp Config for B&W 802D's
Just had the Pass X600.5 monoblocks with Jeff Rowland Coherence II with the 802s. Though excellent, am now going with Sym-Line Kraft. I'm led to understand this combo is quite common in Europe. 
Amp Config for B&W 802D's
Symphonic-Line Kraft 250 with 802Ds..... That's the route I'm taking ! 
Any experiences with FM Acoustics Preamps
Hello Gregm:In another thread, I read you mentioned - "I got a 'Kraft' class A and control it with a transformer volume. So, I still use SL amplfication!"I would like to ask you that you went from RG3 with full PS, then to FM Acoustics & then ... 
Any experiences with FM Acoustics Preamps
Thank you gentlemen for the feedback. I appreciate it !! 
Any experiences with FM Acoustics Preamps
No one here on this Forum who has any experiences with FM Acoustics ??? 
Integrated amp for B&W 805S under $1200?
Raise your budget a bit more & look for a Symphonic Line Integrated in the used market. New is very expensive. This should be 'end of the road'.With 800-series, just as a fellow member said, you skimp on the amp, you'll never reach your goals.... 
How good is Accuphase DP-700 SACD/CD Player
Hi Elberoth2That's an assurance for the Accuphase in the sonic & fit-n-finish departments. Thank you!! So, is it close to their flagship - 800/801 combo?Cheers! 
How good is Accuphase DP-700 SACD/CD Player
I think we all know that DP-700 is miles ahead - but we want to hear this and more from AN USER. Now - where's that User...
