| What time do you wear? Now the test. Other than casework, what makes either of these watches superior to the two I mentioned on 4/18/7? Unfortunately this would most likely turn into a squabble!For those who think its important to wear something on their wrist that ever... | |

| Amplifiers for B&W 803D/802D Audphile brings up a good point about B&W's dipping down to 3ohm territory. The MC402 has 3 sets of taps on the back, 2ohm, 4ohm and 8ohm. Although B&W rates their speakers at 8ohm, you would not want to use the 8ohm taps, rather start wit... | |
| Amplifiers for B&W 803D/802D Statusnine, your first reply to Audphile1 were excellent questions, as IMO his comments were without merit and didn't make sense. The Pass amps he suggested are NOT mono-blocks, as you state in your second reply, they are two channel amps, just as... | |
| Amplifiers for B&W 803D/802D I have owned Classe and McIntosh with B&W 802D speakers. I owned a Classe CA2200 amp and CP500 preamp and had it paired with Signature 805 speakers and really enjoyed this system, it was fun. (Unlike Arthur, I really liked the touch screens, a... | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? That is interesting Shiprepair, it makes me wonder what the results would be if I tried the 2ohm taps, a friend encouraged me, but I never did.Isn't it awesome when a simple tweak makes a difference as big, or bigger, that changing a piece of gear... | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs. B&W 802D vs. Maggie 3.6 vs.? I have owned the 802D's with the McIntosh MC402 and C46, I still have the Mac gear. I have been told by others that the 802D's sound great with the MC501's and that may be, but they didn't do it for me with the 402, or the numerous other amps I us... | |
| Why LCD and Plasma? 37 Well, I am not sure we can compare apples to apples anymore. My new 42" TV plays a 4:3 picture at 34 inches, I am not aware of a high quality 34" SD only set to compare with. My new TV replaces a 27" tube TV and my new TV has a better picture than... | |
| Why LCD and Plasma? 37 I agree with you for the most part TVAD on streych mode, but I think some programs could surprise you, as it did me, maybe.As for your second part, if I follow you, you are talking of only a few channels, your local channels, yes?Also, keep in min... | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? Thats excellent Shiprepair! | |
| Why LCD and Plasma? 37 I have yet to see a high definition LCD or Plasma TV displaying a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio signal that didn't look like crap. Do any exist?I purchased a 42" Panasonic plasma and I hooked it up today; I don't have the HD receiver yet so... | |
| Why LCD and Plasma? 37 I have not, what is/are spiff? | |
| Why LCD and Plasma? 37 As irritating as it was to deal with a salesman that didn't know much, I will say that CC sales people do not work on commission so what one buys or doesn't buy means little to them. | |
| Why LCD and Plasma? 37 Swampwalker, I am happy with my DLP set, and I wouldn't rule DLP out for the bedroom set we are looking to replace.I went to town last night considering solely LCD and plasma and after looking at that Sony 3LCD rear projection TV I started wonderi... | |
| Why LCD and Plasma? 37 That is interesting Semi; I suspect I need to spend more time looking at TV's next time. I had my wife and son with me yesterday and my wife is not patient in these things, I was very pressured.I know that the DLP TV I bought a few years ago was a... |
