| Amp/preamp combo for B&W Matrix 801's I have the 801s VII and use Krell FPB 250 monoblocks and Krell LRCHR preamp with the Krell crossover units with outstanding sound. The croossovers realy make a big difference in sound. | |
| moving question I have the 801s and had to move them to a dealer some 300 miles away, in the back of my Mustang hatchback (it was tight fit). I wrapped the speaker up in a blanket and duct taped the ends just like a gift. It was awkward moving it around safely bu... | |
