| Set up for Rockport Aviors Jason, PM philb7777, he has the Cygnus and has been a lot of help with positioning when I had my Aviors. | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? I had Rockport Aviors, had a tube Cary 05 running into Boulder 2060. I would say, with the Boulder, the Rockport were not bright. Sounded just right. I do miss them. But I was looking for something else. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I am 33 years old. I would like this hobby to continue... I definitely don't want to be the last of a breed.33 years old, first system when I was 25. Maybe another 32 years of this? Hopefully?Currently a growing system. BW 802D3, Sonus Faber O... | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers I have the O3. I can assure you there is more than enough bass.And it sounds great. | |
| What speakers do you recommend? I'm considering B&W 804 D3 or Sonus Faber Olympica II I like both, bought both.802D3 incoming. SF Olympica III enroute. Both good speakers, but I prefer the 802D3 for overall presentation. It gets me to the event better. | |
| B&W 805 D3 Heard it again today...Close your eyes and you're there. Tried it with the SF Olympica 3 today... Didn't work. Sounds great... But the 802d3 just recreates all the little ambient information and creates a believable event.Something I could not c... | |
| B&W 805 D3 Just as a quick aside, the d2 to me seem brighter. Off axis the d2 might sound better on a quick casual listen because it is more engaging in that sense. But sit in the sweet spot in the right room in the right triangulation and positioning of t... | |

| Bower and Wilkins and its relationship with Classe and Rotel I have had 3 amps on my BW 802D2. Cary 211FEClasse M600Boulder 2060and while it sounds great with the Classe m600, it sounds best with the Boulder. | |
| B&W 803 vs Byston Model T I have heard bryston model t as I helped my friend set his up... It's ok. | |
| Latest Absolute Sound I enjoy read TAS and Stereophile, it keeps me in the loop as to what's hot and what's not. Whether I buy that product or even consider it is up to me. Regarding certain amps at a high price range, there are always buyers. I wish there were more ... | |

| B&W 'New' 800 Series I compared the 802D2 vs 803D3 head to head on full mcintosh system. Neither had the upper hand in terms of physical positioning in the room. I thought the new D3 series was better overall, possibly 25% better per my Dad who was in the room with me... | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 vs Sabrina I do not find Sabrina's enjoyable. I find them muted. Sophia 3 are overall better to my ears. |
