| What digital cable between levinson 360s and 37? I used the Transparent Cable Reference AES/EBU 110 Ohm Digital Link between a No.36s and No.37 and it compliments these components quite well. | |
| Anyone compare the B&W CDM9NT & N804 IMO, the best speaker in the CDM line are the 1NTs. The towers do not perform nearly as well.Listen to the CDM1NTs at your dealer and then listen to the 9NTs. Listen for clarity and imaging and the 1NTs will win every time.The opposite is true of ... | |
| Best brand of cable for B&W N802? I used Zu Cable Wax. I actually bought them on Audiogon!Sound good, and they offer oversized spades which is a NICE fit for the speakers. | |
| Shhhhhh Don't tell my wife. Looking at B&W 802Ns When I went from the N804s to the N802s, my wife commented that it looked like I had brought 2 R2-D2s to live with us.She has grown used to them and enjoys the sound. | |

| How do you properly break-in a pair of speakers? Just throw in a CD and let it go! | |
| 4.5k on speakers for 5.1 surround. NHT way to go? There has been a ton of talk about Rocket loudspeakers providing some phenomenal bang for the buck. You can pretty much go all out for their best system less than $2200. The saving would allow you to get a top-end subwoofer to go along with them!h... | |
| Rotel RA-1070 amp, any good? I have the RB-1070 driving my rear speakers, and it works well. I actually need to experiment with it driving the front L/R (Just for fun), but it definitely works well for it's current application. | |
| Proceed AVP and AVP2 upgrade I honestly do not do ANY post-processing to two-channel music so I cannot comment.Others have made positive comments, but I prefer the unaltered sound of a good 2-channel mix. | |
| Proceed AVP and AVP2 upgrade I had the AVP --> AVP2 upgrade done.You get a few nice features with the upgrade (DPL II, better bass management, DTS-ES, etc).You also get a noticeable increase in sound fidelity. This is most obvious with 2-channel music, including DAC functi... | |
| What amp is best? I have the N802s and an HTM1 up front in my HT (SCM8s for surrounds).I use an AMP5 for the three front speakers, bi-amping the N802s. I have been very happy with the results.I can cleanly drive the speakers with zero distortion at volumes far larg... | |
| "Naked" binding posts. I don't know for sure, but I actually setup gates around the speakers and the amp to keep my 10 month old away from the setup. | |
| Sim Audio W-5 Amp With B&W N802 Speakers I have a pair of 802s (replaced a set of 804s).I have a Proceed AMP5. It worked great for the 804s. They worked 'OK' with the 802s as is, but were not where they needed to be.I ended up bi-amping them with the AMP5, and that has made a world of di... |
