How long do B&W 800 series speakers last
I've had my Matrix 802/3 since 1993 or so. I've had my Matrix 805s for about 10 years. They've lasted well all this time with no need for repairs. They may eventually need to have the caps in the crossovers replaced but they sound fine so I will w...

Aleph 3 - Its 2013, are they still awesome ?

Best Preamp with Phono $2300 Max?
Don't know what level of adjustment you need in the phono stage but what about a Rowland Capri with Phono. It can handle MM and MC, sounds wonderful, and at least my WAF for it is good.
