| Can b&w 804 be placed near wall? 24" from the side walls and 36-48 from the front. No way to pull them out?Treat and EQ it to death, but it really needs to come out in the room,a bitRegards | |

| What is a great preamp match with the Mcintosh MC754 amplifier? Mac + Mac, the way I’d go. Not a lot of those made, 15-1600 something like that.

| the dB/octave specification of the crossover? Danny Richie explains it all, in language we non-engineers can understand. Of course he can, he's not an engineer. At least, last I heard. He is a speaker designer. So he also designs most of the parts for his and some other speakers he's repa... |
