| The truth on low efficiency speakers like B&W? N802's are not inefficient. They are specified at 90db 1W and 1 meter. They are however, very sensitive to the amplifier driving them and cabling. It is all too easy to end up with a lean, bright sound. The W4S ST500 is an excellent partner along ... | |
| Solid State Monoblocks-Tube Preamp or Solid State? Tubed and balanced connection. Look for a VAC Renaissance. | |
| b&w suggestions Four furniture sliders under the N802's and I move them between rooms all by myself. No problem at all. The right tools for the job make all the difference. | |
| b&w suggestions My audition was in a two channel system without subwoofer. The electronics were Mark Levinson and were kept the same for all three speaker model auditions.In my friends system, the speakers are run full range and augmented by the REL. It would be ... | |
| Mating Quad 2905's with crossover and subs? Wilson Benesch Torus sub is the best match I've heard. Unfortunately, rather expensive and hard to find. The Torus has the speed without the big box woofer bloat. That said, I've always liked Quads without a sub in a medium sized room. I've owned ... | |

| Speakers than can run 2 different amps Most bi-wired speakers will divide the terminal cross-over in the midrange. The sonic difference between the two amps will be very audible in a bad way. You would be way better off buying a tube friendly 2-way, biwire if you want utilizing the tub... | |
| A dilemma: Modern sound, Musical Bliss or both? Which speaker presents the best illusion of real acoustic instuments and voice? Pick that one. In the long run, it will be the most satisfying. You will not really miss hearing the tiny ping from the rear of the stage that some speakers might high... | |
| stone wall behind the audio rack and speakers I prefer a "live end" room at the speaker. I think the rock wall would work just fine. BTW you have a great looking system that should sound stunning as well. | |
| Do you leave your platter spinning while switching Yes, my owners manual states it saves wear on the belt and motor. | |
| Best amp for Avalon Johnsonwu is correct. I recall it being a special package with the Spectral amps and special MIT cables and a 3D moniker. A class A amp like one of the offerings from Pass would be a good start. I also noticed an Audia Flight 100 listed for 3500.0... | |
