| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Kevin look for some records that sound good to you and are pressed closest to the spindle. Curious if you hear a difference on the inner grooves compared to what u r used to. Cheers Chris . | |
| What the 802 and 3 Decades can tell us about trends Erik the real genius behind the BAF. please see the attached graph that B&W England sent me many years ago. https://photos.app.goo.gl/4kkpoZsV6jJERspy7 Now this is for the 801 matrix, but it applies to the whole matrix line.

| What the 802 and 3 Decades can tell us about trends ErikYour article would be IMO much more fun and interesting, if your author Troels had set up the 802 s3 as designed from the factory optimized with the BAF.

| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? @mtrot and they are no doubt using optimal amplification in those settings. I would not assume this. Personally, if I am looking at spending that kind of cash on speakers, it would mean I have too much stake in the game to trust a dealer setup, ... | |

| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? I wasn't referring to EQ. Turning down the treble, or turning up the bass is done first by speaker/room mods/angle positioning. If after that its still not working, look into appropriate gear (amps/preamps) etc...Many try to run B&W with amps... | |
| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? dsper - They are overpriced because the tweeters are fatiguingThis is the most common complaint I have read about on many speakers.

| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? elliottbnewcombjr I was very active when the 801’s were announced, oh my, the big deal in the magazines, before they hit the stores.

ThxPaul - yes but it depends. let me explain, but its getting outside of your OP question. I break it down... | |
| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? @OP PaulGardnerAre Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?IMO.... You need to go back to the early 70's Paul - to find B&W speakers that cost more to make, than they sold for. Now under John Bowers term, as the years progressed the speakers ... | |
| Do old Acoustats compete with new 'stats or dynamics @ct0517 interesting you cross the Quads over at 60 Hz. I cross mine over at 100 Hz to avoid the intentional bump a 90 Hz that Walker designed into the speaker.@clio09 Hi Clio we have discussed this ..2 years ago ? But I don’t mind rehashing. Walke... | |
| Do old Acoustats compete with new 'stats or dynamics Hi Pix4workI have custom build Acoustat Model 3's with granite bases. See my virtual system. Their only drawback is when you stand up as they are not tall. The simpler build Model 3's outperformed my more complex Acoustat Spectra 33's. As good ... | |
