Best tube amp with B&W 805D?
Hi Goohsm,Sorry for the delayed reply. I have been away from this site for a while.I truly love the ARC Ref 110 with the B&W 805D's. I couldn't be happier with the lack of edginess and pure transparency they provide. The Bryston 4BSST2 is an a...

Harris4crna,Sorry for the delayed response. Been away from this site for a while.I am very pleased with the Clearaudio Concept w/mc package and Moon 310lp. The 310lp does take a while to break in. Though it sounds very quiet from the first moment,... 
Suggested Stands for B&W 805 Diamonds
I have a pair of B&W 805d stands currently for audition from my dealer, though I brought them home and they seem flimsy compated to my Target four post stands that are filled with oven dried sand. I will be comparing the unfilled matching stan...

I just purchased a new REL R528 to pair with my B&W 805Ds and am very impressed. It really ads a lot to the spaciousness and overall dynamics. Especially on larger scale pieces (of course).Question for other owners: After the installation of a...

AUDIO RESEARCH-WHERE ARE THEY GOING
My experience has been pretty good overall.Calvin is very helpful and straight forward, though can be a little tough to reach at times. Like all companies and folks, I am sure they have their share of slow days and also overwhelmingly busy days. H...

B&W 805D stands? Experience?
Hi Rgs92,I'm very pleased with the 805D's in my current system. They are very resolving, yet they do tend slightly to the relaxed side of the spectrum. For me and the majority of music I favor, this is a positive trait. I would encourage that they...

B&W 805D stands? Experience?
Hi Dave_b,Please do. I am very interested in hearing about your experience with the PV1D. What is the US retail price for it? I was surprised to see that the power rating has decreased from 500 watts to 400 watts, but is supposed to be a higher qu...
