| would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S? Wow, not an easy question to simply say bigger is better. Room size is important - perhaps the 804's are just right for your room, but the 802's would overwhelm it with bass. Consider amplification (B&W's need lots of quality power); what you ... | |
| Viny to a hard drive. Please help me. There's a turntable (I believe by Music Hall?) with a USB output - seems very hard to beat for about $200. | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? When taking advice on this topic, don't listen to anyone's comparison of two different units UNLESS they have played them side by side, at the same time, in the same system, with the same disk, with a level-matched preamp. Too often you'll hear "X... | |
| Are Harbeth P3ESR's Any Different From B&W??? The Harbeths have better midrange than B&W in my opinion, but the B&W's will play louder. | |
| Need help from smart people - biamping Wow, thanks for all of the responses ! Most helpful. I was only considering horizontal biamping; the vertical approach as described did not even occur to me. | |
| Adcom GFA 5802 Upgrade In the late '90s I had a GFA5802 with B&W Matrix 802's, which sounded really nice. I swapped the Adcom for a McIntosh MC300 and noticed a great improvement overall. The Mac seemed to have more bloom in the midrange and was not fatiguing in the... | |
| Need advice for B&W 804 diamond amplification By the way, I should have mentioned in regards my first post, I have nothing against McIntosh, Classe, or Rotel, just tired of seeing that nearly every post on the web you can find on newer B&W speakers seems to involve these manufacturers, an... | |
| Need advice for B&W 804 diamond amplification I have the 804 Diamonds ("D2") as well. I have been evaluating them with my Audio Research 100.2 Solid State amp and Bel Canto Pre2 Preamp, which I highly recommend. While I have been listening I've been looking at other options in the event my 10... | |
| Need advice for B&W 804 diamond amplification B&W - it's ALWAYS Rotel, McIntosh, and Classe. Why is that. Hmmmm...every dealer I've ever been to that sells B&W sells either Rotel and McIntosh or Rotel and Classe. Has anyone ever tried with another amp? | |

| Diversity of opinion over what I think people have preconceived ideas about products based on other non-truth (other than aural) sensory cues, such as visual, or third party affirmations (reviews). To illustrate my point, these example would possibly spark the ire of those affe... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- You find yourself in a plaza that has a Best Buy or some other 'Stereo in a Box' store and you either:a) are tempted go in;b) scoff and smile while driving away but wish you had went in;orc) actually go in to see if they finally got something that... | |
| Used amplifier/preamp combo for $2,000-$3,000 Excellent combo of the bel canto pre2 with the ARC 100.2 or for a little more money the Cary CAD 200 (though aside from the extra power not sure it's better). Great synergy. 7-10 yrs ago you'd have to shell out 7k for the BC/ARC combo, now about 2... | |
| Velodyne FSX12 I had an FSR12. They were great subs, and still are if they work. Unfortunately from what I have seen the electronics don't seem to have longevity. If yours works, I would be concerned that it wouldn't work much longer. | |
| Best CD Player HDCD under $1000US The Denon Universal players (like the 2900, 3900, etc) are pretty good, although purchased new only the 2900 is under $1000. But used, they are pretty cheap (especially since each has had many iterations). I have had the 2930, and a Marantz SA8260... |
