| What other obsessions do you have? Golf and hoping my wife will have another glass of wine. | |
| Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose I agree with the Paradigm / Yamaha suggestion. Sounds better and is a much better value. | |
| What's a good AMP to drive my 803 N? Simaudio is worthy of your consideration. Very nice in combination with B&W. I'm a fan of Kimber Kables with my B&W speakers - very satisfied. | |
| Kimber BiFocal XL speaker cable I have a different opinion than Mrfastguy. (Isn't this hobby great!) I have used the BiFocal XL for a couple of years. The cable is neutral on the base end. I could easily hear the difference in base when I changed power amps. Tremendous punch, ve... | |
| Benefits of power conditioning Thanks for the reply | |
| Benefits of power conditioning WarnerwhWhich models are you using?Thanks | |
| B&W Nautilus 800 vs 801 Those are two different animals. IMO the N800 is the better speaker. For the difference in price it certainly should be better. $10K is about half what you will need for the N800. You might want to consider listening to the N802 which I also prefe... | |
| Affordable amp for B&W 803 The Rotel 1090 is a very nice affordable choice to match with N803's. The 1090 is very good on the top end. It is detailed without a hint of shrillness. B&W produces a wonderful mid-range, to my ear, and the 1090 does nothing to detract from i... | |
| B&W HTM 1 vs HTM 2 ??? Well, I'll give you my thoughts. I have auditioned both with my speakers - N802's. It didn't take me long to determine the HTM-1 was the better speaker and more importantly the better match. Properly integrated with a subwoofer the HTM-1 could nic... | |
| Need help on HT speaker system I agree with Paradigm. I think the 60's are a nice speaker. My bet is you would want the best center channel Paradigm makes. If you purchased the smaller center make sure you listen to it with the 60's (or whatever). I had the 60's with the smalle... | |
| B&W scm-1 positioning Mine are on the side walls and slightly behind the primary listening positions. They are as low as I could get them without having to worry about somebody bumping into them. Sounds good to me. | |
| Audio House I think your criteria are pretty reasonable. Surely you will find what you want in a city the size of Denver.We built a house with a dedicated music room a year plus ago. I can't imagine being without it now. Real estate here must be a lot like Wy... | |
| B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia? You have a nice size room but I would be concerned it is too small for the N801's. I have heard the N801's sound very, very good but the room was extra large. You really need to listen to them in your room or at least a similar sized room. | |
