| Moving from B&W 802 Nautilus to 800 Nautilus ?? I have both speakers, the older N800's and the 802's. Driven by a variety of electronics. I have never thought these speakers, 800's or 802's to sound bright and lean. I know electronics play a big part of speaker matching. I have been successfull... | |

| tube watts vs transistor watts? @Almarg, Thank you for your technical reponses. You inquired about the Octave amplifiers and you were looking for more information about these amps. I would like to hear your technical response about the methodology employed by Octave for their am... | |

| The Hub: Here's some GOOD NEWS from the audio biz This ia a great update. Living in Germany I have been exposed to the European culture of hi-fi. Compared to the economic news in the states, Germany does not seem so affected by the downturn as it was in the USA. I know companies like Opel, a subs... | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? @Lance0955, Excuse me, but the technology that adds dimensionality that the VanL speakers are using sure sounds like Polk Audio's Space Dimensional Array, available on the SDA2's and SADA3's. They to had a seperate coil for each channel, phased L-... | |
| wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ? I would sure like to hear the MM2's. From the specs and what I have read, they are truly a bargain in that league for the performance they offer.

| Usijng two different subwoofers I will be able to test a drive a DD15 this weekend for a week and thus hope to find if I can match it with the system. Thanks all. Ciao,Audioquest4life | |
| Usijng two different subwoofers Thank you all for your responses. I want to use this for a high end two channel system. The current subwoofer from B&W is no longer made thanks to the new modernized, 22nd century high tech look replacement versus the nice looking real cherry ... |
