| B&W 801D or 802Ds My current speakers (JBL L890s) work fine in my room. They have 2 8 inch woofers per side. I can see the 801Ds not working, but I don't see why the 802Ds wouldn't work. No way am I getting small speakers. Sorry about that. | |
| Bryston integrated or separates Definitely get the 4B with any of the Bryston preamps. Preferably the BP26. | |
| B&W 801D or 802Ds Oh and my room isn't too big. 16'x14' | |
| B&W 801D or 802Ds Hmm...sounds like the 801Ds are the better choice. I agree that they're harder to drive, and that would require more power than what I've got on hand (300W into 8 Ohms, 500 into 4 Ohms) I'll either go with Bryston, Pass Labs, or something else alt... | |
| Las Vegas Nothing yet, eh? | |
| Speakers for Bryston PMC is very expensive here in the US. It's not really a good value, imo. | |
| Las Vegas Sounds good. Let's get this club rollin'! | |
| Best solid state amp for B&W 801 Matrix Series 2 Soundlock: Thanks for the suggestion. The amp looks good, and the price is right. So, I just may try it out. | |
| Best solid state amp for B&W 801 Matrix Series 2 I did actually. It was matched to Apogee Stage speakers. Noth the speakers and the amp shut down and the tweeters blew.True, but I wanted to know if the Bryston 14BSST2 has enough muscle to drive the 801s. It's not a cheap amp (to me anyway,) even... | |
| Best solid state amp for B&W 801 Matrix Series 2 Ok, thanks guys. I haven't heard Threshold in a long time. I've never heard Parasound and Classe. I don't care for Levinson. I used to own the No. 23 amp, and I hated it. | |
| Any high WAF speaker with ATC sound? Cool. Sounds great! Which amp will you be using? | |
| FM Acoustics 611 vs Goldmund 29.6M I agree Bvdman. To really hear what FM amps are capable of, the FM cables and preamps are necessary.That's exactly what the 611 I had did! I thought there was something wrong with the amp. It probably gets hot due to being Class A as well?In my mi... | |
| FM Acoustics 611 vs Goldmund 29.6M Ok, fair enough. Thank you for your comments. That makes sense. Yeah, FM is real high priced these days too. But, I do like the sound. I most likely will get it used when I'm ready. | |
| FM Acoustics 611 vs Goldmund 29.6M Wow, those are all great amps. I had the 611 too. I had to sell and I downgraded to Bryston for financial reasons. Long story, haha.Anyway, have you tried Burmester, Gryphon, and Daniel Hertz (Levinson's new company) | |
| FM Acoustics 611 vs Goldmund 29.6M Ok, the new Goldmund. That's not a fair comparison, really. The 611 is 22 (wow!) year old technology. A fairer comparison would be to a 711-MKII. |
