Mcintosh Amps w/ B&W 801'S
Well said. For 801 speakers (doesnt matter what series) krell is the way to go. Been listening my 801D today with evo 600e and was like a hurricane in my room when cranking loud, and surprisely never sounding bright or harsh! Incredible how amazin... 
Alternatives for Transparent Reference MM2
Dear Edorr,I´m in the same dillema testing Transparent Reference XL MM2 vx Shunaya Anaconda with ARC REF5. I was hearing Trans XL MM2 today and found the sound a bit metallic in the voices, but the bass was punchier, simply perfect as well guitar ... 
Audio Research Reference 5SE reliability
Hi everybody.Currently I´m testing a REF 5 used unit to evaluate sound and finally buy a brand new 5se. From what I heard in comparison to my previous VTL 6.5 was a stunning sound, deeper and punchier bass, and finally the most impressive mid and ... 
DAC with Volume Control and Audio Research Ref 5SE
I´ve also been testing ARC Ref 5 (not SE) against VTL 6.5. VTL 6.5 sounds great when setting output level of my Paganini DAC to 2V. But in 6V sounds too much agressive, metallic, irritating. On the other hand on REF 5se It happens the oposite. Sou... 
B&W 801D or 802Ds
Well from my experiences, the FPB or Evolution Krells are a great match with B&W 802D or 801D. I´ve been for a while researching good electronics to my 801D. I´ve picked EVO 600e, they are really expensive but worth what they cost. They are tr... 
B&W 801D or 802Ds
I am sure you will be amazed with 802D. As the friend said with great eletronic and cable they will sound excellent. I would also try Siltech cables, and Krell for the amps. Matching with a good tube pre you´ll be in heaven :) 
B&W 801D or 802Ds
The 801Ds are the ultimate beast of B&W. I havent heard properly the new series but i bet the new 800Di couldnt be pair especially when we are talking about naturality and bass. The 801 speakers are far the most natural sounding B&W ever p... 
Is difference between B&W 802D & 800D worth price?
dude, i´ve seen your post in many forunsI think you must go to a 801D speaker, as you own currently M801S3 model. If you go to 802D you will feel lack of bass. In the 800D probably the bass slam will be the same. BUT, IMO, if you go to 801D you wi...

B&W 801 vs 803s
yes dude. But in this case THESE 2 models cost the same price used or NEW. We are not discussing about marks but SPEAKER PRICES. THe most important is compare speaker at the SAME price range. 
B&W 801 vs 803s
well said DylanhenryHEre it go the prices MSRPN801 - USD11K801D - USD18KWP7 - USD22,5kWP8 - USD27,9KThe 801D should play less than WP7 as it cost almost USD5K more. So there´s no way to compare or judge a speaker that have different price. 
B&W 801 vs 803s
The 801D is the most not-tiring and revealing speaker at its price range IMO. Forget the old N801, this is indeed balanced from top to buttom, with punchy, fast and heavy bass. Alot of dynamic, this sound awesome with many types of amps i drive th...
