| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? Dunno if bright is the proper term, they seem to have a lot of upper midrange energy and call attention to themselves | |
| Where is the bass on my B&W 802d speakers? unfortunately as you hear for yourself in your space... Speaker/room synergy is more important than any amp you buy. Well to be honest, replacing my Bryston BP26 and Classe CAM-200's with the PSaudio BHK preamp and BNK 300's did make quite an ... | |
| Where is the bass on my B&W 802d speakers? What is your room size and what amp are you using? Approximately 16 x 25 with 6 1/2-foot acoustic ceiling panels PSaudio BHK preamp and BHK 300 monoblocks | |
| Where is the bass on my B&W 802d speakers? I have my speakers out from the front wall 24", 8' apart and 4' from the side walls. Soundstage is very 3-dimensional. When I push the speakers closer to the front wall, say 6", the bass is improved and the tweeter energy sounds toned down. Howev... | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? Setup could be an issue, but I had even worse preamp / amp combo before Arcam CD72T cd player Bryston BP26 preamp Classe CAM-200 monoblocks | |

| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? wow, never even heard of them....I'm looking for a retirement system, so i'm in the price range of around 20-25 thousand. | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? Good point... any suggestions for full sounding speakers that don't have that B&W Diamond ear bleed? | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria I still haven't chosen a pair of speakers to replace my 802D's. To be honest, I haven't found anything that is enough of a difference to justify the cost. I did replace my Bryston BP-26 preamp with a PSAudio BHK Preamp and things have calmed down... | |
| Volume Control Too Sensitive I really am enjoying all of these wise ass comments your giving me. I guess it gives you a hardon to insult those with questions. Such brilliant comments such as 'buy a better preamp' FYI, the Bryston BP-26 was rated high by the Absolute Sound mag... | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria from what others are saying in the forum, that the Bryston BP-26 is a bright sounding preamp, and that the Classe CAM-200's are neutral sounding monoblocks? what are your thoughts? | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria Tried connecting a Cambridge Audio integrated amp up to my 802d's, Rated at 100wpc, wow what a difference. Not saying good/bad, but what a contrast. my Bryston BP-26 is bright and light on bass, where the Cambridge Audio is not bright at all, with... | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria IBryston BP-26. Another point mentioned in another forum, which is more severe in my system is the Bryston BP-26 connected to the Classe CAM-200 via XLR, my volume range is literally from 6 to 7 (clockface speaking) This is very annoying when tr... | |

| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria That's what I noticed with the Sopra 3's. It's as if the Beryllium tweeter and the diamond tweeter are both 'hyper tweeters'. Crystal clear but fatiguing. After having the Focal 936's in my house for a couple of weeks (non Beryllium tweeter) i n... |
