| best amp for rinning 802n under 1200 I concur with all of the previous recommendations:My N802s are currently run by B&K 250wpc monoblocks: these are about $1,300 (each) new, or $2.6k: used, they're great. The Aragon 8008BB and the Bryston 4B-ST are also fine.For the N802s, spend... | |
| Opinons on XLO Signature 5.1 Be very careful of the CABLE COMPANY.I purchased my XLO cables through there, and, while the XLO are very fine, I encountered grief and bait-and-switch from the Cable Company. First, they ordered the wrong product, ignored the termination instruct... | |
| Spade to Bananas for B W Speakers Thanks for all of the feedback.Simply, I'll get the XLO re-terminated, then when I add new speakers I'll upgrade to another brand, terminated properly.Thanks, again.Mike Dorsam | |
| BEST SPEAKER FOR BRYSTON 7B ST,,, Some excellent commentary...I'll split the difference on a couple points...I purchased the N802s after extensive auditioning of the N801s and the AA-10Ts. Regarding the N801s, there were several decision points: first, my wife could not handle the... | |
| Speaker upgrade - please advise. I'd opt for the N802s: they are considered in the top-tier, with Revel Studios, at $8000, new. At $6,000 you should get a great deal.I've have an array of them, and they do sing.mdorsam | |
| Amp recommendations for B W N803 Blackie:There is a fairly comprehensive posting on this. The N803s are excellent speakers, and you will ENJOY them: currently, I have the N802s all around: the only difference is the N802s provide more bass: you subwoofer, if you have one, will au... | |
| B W 802N how much power? Some excellent commentary, about excellent speakers and amps.I'm running N802s with the B&K 250wpc monoblocks. These amps are designed with higher transient power to reach down for the transient lower note requirements: and they are fine in do... | |
| B W CDM 9 NT versus Nautilus 804 Regarding the amp for the N804s:I'm using the B&K 202 (one generation removed from the current 3xx series), pushing N802s: the B&K is transparent, although for the hungry N802s I added B&K monoblocks, with the 202 driving the HTM-1 Cen... | |
| Wilson WATT...worth buying? I agree with Lev335: the Salons and Gems provide a consistent, excellent system; for much less money (and a different sound), I'll recommend a B&W N802, ASW-4000 and HTM-1 systems: total will be about $20k for 4 mains, the Sub and Center. | |
| Biamp w/2 Bryston4BST s or 1 14BSTw/B W? For Mcoker: I'm using the N802s for mains, the HTM1 for Center and ASW-4000 for the sub. The N802s were a better choice for me: budgetary, wife-factor and asthetically, than the N801s. The N803s compromised too much on the bass and the mid-range h... | |
| Biamp w/2 Bryston4BST s or 1 14BSTw/B W? This seems to be a popular question, as I'm addressing the same issue and considering the same alternatives.My conclusion is the 7B-ST, rather than the paired 4B-ST. B&W told me straight that my original choice: B&K 250wpc monoblocks, woul... | |
| Which cables for B W N803 s and Bryston7 All of the above recommendations are solid, and I would add the XLO Double Bi-Wire: this may be beyond your budget, at that length, but even the ER-11s are great.I second the point on the connects: both the B&Ws and the Brystons have troubleso... | |
| IS X L O HISTORY? About 6 months ago I purchased a full HT array from XLO. The short story goes that my B&W N802s have an odd connection that the Cable Company got wrong, so my cables from XLO were wrong, as well.I ended-up getting GREAT Service from XLO's insi... |
