How do I power my 800D(3)s
Poor Joey, a wife is just like audio. It sucks all your money away!! 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
I think a Pass labs X-series will be the best option. It depends how much money he wants to spend. The cheapest option for a new one is the X350.8. When he has more budget I would go for a X600.8 set. Even with his 800D3 it will outperform the Cla... 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
People are not able to look further, that is a fact as well.For the money the 800D3 costs you should get a huge holographic 3D stage with all the layers in the frequencies. And it needs to be able to show you diversity in height of the instruments... 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
I had a client with 800D1, he owned Mark Levinson H33. It sounded dull. So I adviced him Pass Labs X600.5. They are a great match.The Pass labs Labs X600.5 can build a very deep and wide stage. But with the DNA of the B&W the stage was still n... 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
It doesn’t matter what you connect to the 800D3, the stage will never become a deep and wide stage. I owned the best B&W loudspeakers and I know people who owned and own them.We test each single part on properties, these properties you cannot ... 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
You want the Truth?I dare B&W to do a shootout between their 800D3 and the Monitor Audio Pl-500?We will make a review of it. I can garantee you that this will not happen. B&W does not want people to know that their stage is a lot less deep... 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
These are facts, we are not talking about preferences. I never met a person with an expensive audio system who would like to have a less deep and wide stage.Focus on the facts. There are many things which can be compared. What do you want to hear:... 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
Each single loudspeaker has a level of potential and owns properties. I owned the 800S and when I auditioned the 800D1 I knew I would stop with B&W.We auditioned the 800D3 a few months ago with a 245.000 euro costing system driving the 800D3 s... 
Heard the B&W N804d3s ...
The old aluminium tweeters of the Nautilus line you own can sound harsh. This is based on the older technique and limited frequency range.For a subwoofer there are other rules that counts compared to a loadspeaker. In the past I have sold many Rel... 
Heard the B&W N804d3s ...
The Rhythmik L12 is a subwoofer with a driver made of paper. Paper is an outdated material these days. Beside this paper has it’s own kind of sound. It is not the most natural soud. You should have spend more money on a subwoofer if I were you. I... 
Heard the B&W N804d3s ...
Timing is a key factor to the level of acoustic problems you can get in a room. When a loudspeaker has a faster response you will have less acoustic limitations.B&W is not the fastest and their older series are even rather slow compared to mos... 
Heard the B&W N804d3s ...
I have doen thousands of tests in audio. We always test each part on how much depth it can build. These are not parts based on personal preference, but based on real differences.Denon is a 2 dimensional brand. This means it build less than 1 metre... 
Pass Labs amps questions
That is a good question. I had a lot of email contact with Desmond Harrington (President Pass Labs) between 2009 and 2015.In 2009 I said to him; Pass Labs needs a more realistic focus of instruments and voices. I call it intimate focus. Because in... 
Heard the B&W N804d3s ...
I owned the 802N ( Which I bought brand new in 1999) and the 800S. ( Which I bought when they were only 3 months old)But when I audtioned the 800D1, I knew I would not buy B&W again. This is based on the fact that B&W misses a few importan...
