| Moving up from B&W CM9 @itzhak1969 & others You find the CM9 bright, lean and "artificial"?!!! My dear friend, the CM9 and CM8 are some of the best and musical speakers under 10 grand! If you run them with a crappy amp and front end they will just reflect whatev... | |

| B&W 'New' 800 Series I did listen to a non broken in 802 D3 yesterday for 20 minutes at the Magnolia, Long Island. Even with the mediocre solid Macintosh gear and Audioquest cables, the sound was really something special, effortless (given high power amp). Little 2D i... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series German magazine Stereo did the review of the 800D3 in Nov 2016:"Such a sound experience is a scarce commodity even for a staunch STEREO editor with 40 years of his own hi-fi story. She has grown to my heart, this B & W. I took them out of the ... | |
