| Audience Mods Yes, the upgrades are worth every penny. I went one step further and upgraded my aR12-TSSOX with Furutech GTX-D rhodium plated duplexes.In my setup, the duplex upgrade made much more sense. All of my wall outlets are already upgraded with GTX-D (R... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues Zd, great post. Like you said, you can't under estimate the importance of a 'sound' dealer. I have asked my dealer to replace the Marlan head and tweeter tube on the 2nd pair in his warehouse. And made it very clear that after this replacement, if... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues Thank you all your insights...I can't even began to imagine if dealer is trying to sell the B-stock or demo pairs as new. I have been trying to work out the solution but my patience is wearing thin. The dealer is very reluctant to take back the pa... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues Zd542....unfortunately, both pairs have cosmetic issues not just one speaker. Let's see what happens, dealer is trying to swap out the parts with blemishes. What do you think about the new series? I have not warmed up to the looks quite yet. I did... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues Bcgator.....That's exactly my point. Unfortunately, second pair showed with cosmetic imperfections as well. To make the matters worse, there are no more 800D2's available. B&W discontinued the production of 800D2 series couple of months ago. T... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues "Wet sanded and/or buffed out" Really? Is that what you did with your new car or speaker....LOL!!!The dealer already agreed that these imperfections in finish cannot be buffed out and replacement is the only way to go. Thank you for offering the r... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues "The new 800 (D3)series is here, see if you can upgrade them"Yup, I spotted them in youtube video yesterday. For some reason, B&W decided to hold off the release of 800D3 until spring 2016. I have my heart set up on 800's and really don't care... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues Hello Zd542,I have asked for a replacement pair. I don't want to mess with changing out driver and tweeter from the existing housing to the new one. Who's to say, there won't be any issues with the assembly. A brand new pair, free from any blemish... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues Thank you for sharing the video. | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues Thank you Zd542 and Kr4. And i agree with your feedback, i have owned few pairs of 700's and 800's series prior to purchasing 800d's, never experienced any issues with the finish. The dealer is local, and when i contacted B&W US distribution i... | |

| Computer Audio..Stream or download? Hello again, What a relief to know that I can capture all the music off my olive and transfer it to Aurender. After reading your feedback, it's given that you cannot eliminate pc or Mac from a typical setup if you want to manage your music library... | |
| B&W 800D2 - Bi-amping vs Bi-wiring Bodhi, You were spot on. Got my KWA's last week. Dan optimized these amps for bridged mode and what I heard right out of the box was pretty impressive. The sound field is spacious, musical, tonally accurate and extremely dynamic!!!!Very delighted ... | |
| Computer Audio..Stream or download? Hey Fsmithjack, My Aurender dealer tells me that I need to slave a PC or Mac to rip music and download hi res files? I prefer to stay away from PC or MAC in my HT setup but it looks like I don't have a choice if I want to rip music. Aurender N100 ... |
