| B&W 801 questions Hi Vdosc yes, the ears don't lie. With your professional sound engineering/design background, I look forward to your impressions of the 801f's once u get them set up and have a listen. Up high and away from walls :^) | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please Clio09 thx for the impressions. Yes I have read reports in the past about preferences between 1 and 2 versions. It really helps when you are close to the manufacturer for repairs / upgrades. Pubul57 Well I just completed 3 years of what could e... | |

| B&W 801 questions Just a follow up to my last post - I did some recent experimenting with my 801s and here is what I found and the result. I am really glad I attempted this. Experiment One Substituted my 805 matrixs in with sub. I was able to make them disappear wi... | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please I own a RM9 MK1 with KT88 tubes. I think it is a wonderful amp. Can anyone tell me how much needs to spent $$$$ to better this amp significantly. Thanks | |
| B&W 801 questions Mikward - from what I have read it is not difficult to repair the tweeter, not sure if the leads are soldered so may require that skill. Easiest/cheapest way may be to just remove the midrange/tweeter head and just bring the unit into a shop with ... | |
| B&W 801 questions Hi Micward Your 801s are the latest version matrix model if made in 99. They were designed to be bi-wired and / or bi-amped. Did just the tweeter housing part itself break off ? Although it would be interesting to hear someones comments on the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? when at the same first moment that the stylus tip touch the LP that exact alignment goes out due to all imperfections in the LP? Vinyl is full of imperfections but this is also why it interests me – I can’t believe the sound I am getting out of it... | |
| B&W 801 questions I owned the 801fs many years ago not at the same time as my 801 MS3. They were in a different house/room with different electronics so a direct comparison was not possible and the room is the most important IMO. My knowledge of the speakers back ... | |
| B&W 801 questions Vdosc - I have owned 801f's. They are all pigs for power. I would not modify them at all, except as Stanwal said to get them high in the air. This will clean up the bass on these versions. In studios I have seen them placed 3-4 feet in the air and... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners understand thx. Apbiii | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Apbiii – interesting, well the cartridge will always be the decider on the settings we use. With my higher compliance cartridge moving the lead weights from #5 on the IBeam to the end of the Ibeam changes the sound, as well as making changes to th... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Apbiii - exactly. We are comparing apples to apples - well almost. What is the compliance of the cartridge u r using and where on the scale (what number) are your weights sitting at ? Mine are on the very end of the the IBeam past the 6 and it is... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners HI Phil – I ended up finding a decent magnet for damping on the fridge. One of those appointment holders for pieces of paper. I placed it immediately to the left of the manifold on the platform where the spindle comes out so it is under it. Some b... |
