| Need help with Integrated vs preamp/amp Outlaw RR2150...Music Direct $699 and you can return it if you don't like it and get maybe a Jolida if tubes do it for ya! | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series True...sign of the times. Listen on CT0517...is that your serial number? Your not a robot are you? | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series This kind of info only applies to a few of us nuts....and is probably over the head of most average users. Even Wilson Audio relegates this kind of installation info to it's dealers or installation team. | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series I sit about 10ft away myself...speakers are about 11ft apart! | |
| Best SACD/CD player Modwright XA-5400ES COMPLETE TRUTH MOD plus upgraded tubes would put you in the mid $4k area. Performance does not get any better...different, maybe but not better! | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Role...not rool:) | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Some of what you say I agree with, but when you describe instruments as small and focused, that is where we part ways. Sit in front of an orchestra and close your eyes....not much imaging going on. Same goes for most live concerts. I do like im... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series I've heard Rochberg piano music played at my local University Presidents House, and it absolutely overwhelmed her listening room with dynamics and volume...one piano! Try squeezing William Bolcom's Fifth Symphony through your grist mill Bo...mayb... | |

| B&W 'New' 800 Series Bo, reflected on our conversation and it reminded me of a similiar situation I ran into with a local audiophile. He had an extremely high endsystem with a 20K vinyl rig and Avalon Eidolons etc..., which I thought would be exceptional to experienc... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series We will have to agree that we disagree then....I'm assuming that you actually listen to live music and not just your audio setups, right? Even the smallest instruments are extremely dynamic and not tightly focused in a live setting. I understand... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series I agree that silver has a place in balance but all silver IC's or spkr cables no! As for the intimate thing...that is heavily influenced by the environment and the material. An acoustically damped room will kill bloom and dynamics. Voice can so... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Right on about speakers being to dead can sound in-emotional! | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series In addition...pure silver anything bleaches the soul out of the music!! |
