| Bi-amping Sorry for adding more. What's interesting also is the impedance rise in the treble, along with a drop in response in the top octave. This is a speaker which might actually cry out for a tube amplifier to bring out the most output in that top octav... | |
| Bi-amping Hi CT,Just looked at the Stereophile measurements. I have to say, those were among the best B&W made, at least based on that! https://www.stereophile.com/content/bw-matrix-801-series-2-loudspeaker-measurementsI would disagree, but just a littl... | |
| Bi-amping Depends on a lot of things, how difficult your speakers are, where they are difficult, and how solid the power supply of the amplifier driving it is. There's one major benefit to using bi-amping however, and that is the ability to use a DSP eq on ... | |

| Parasound Halo Integrated Buzz/Hum I have owned 3 separate pieces of Halo gear and never had a hum/buzz issue.One thing to try, disconnect any Cable TV/Antennas. They are the most common source of ground issues. There's good cheap fixes if that turns out to be the case. Best,E | |

| Oppo105 crashing? My Oppo freezes about every three weeks if I leave it turned on. Make sure you have the latest firmware, and also make sure you allow it to stay ventilated. That processor in there gets hot! If it has wifi, try switching to wired. | |
| Triggering mono blocks without trigger capability Furman makes a number of conditioners with trigger inputs. Works really well.Basically a few of the outlets respond to the trigger signal when enabled. Best,E | |
| B+W 801D upgrade crossover Hey OP! B&W started using top grade Mundorf crossover parts by the time this speaker came around. I really wouldn't do this unless you actually wanted to get into more advanced things, like converting it to fully active, or re-thinking some of... |
