| Looking for a new powerful amp. when you match the Ref3 with a solid state amp, make sure you look at input sensitivity of the amplifier. Ref3 has relatively high gain, just as most tube preamps do.For example McCormack DNA-500. Awesome amp. But most likely it'll be tough to mat... | |

| Which cheese? you must have sharp teeth. should we be on a lookout for speakers with bite marks on the cabinets?I'm not letting you in to listen to my system. Or if I do, I'll make sure I have no cheese in the fridge. I don't won't my B&Ws eaten. | |

| Tips for warming up Rotel + B&W system? tvad, good suggestion! We can all come and play, can't we? | |
| Tips for warming up Rotel + B&W system? First of all, let the speakers break in. I suggest about 500 hours of playing on moderate volume. Your amp will break in as well during this time. Second, are your speakers bi-wired? If not, B&Ws may sound offensive through upper mids when run... | |
| B&W 803D vs N802 Brb9, you're right. That's why I vote for 803D. I heard them and heard the N802 and to me the 803D is just more refined. That diamond tweeter is silky smooth. The bass is tighter and more resolving than the N802's. And the mids are smoother and mo... | |
