New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
If you read my circumstances , that was not possible but clearly the preferred route. That said I am no longer afraid- I'm excited. I have confidence that the WWPs exceed my 801s by every important metric.

I only drink vodka.

I heard it at the dealer with McIntosh and the sound was liquid and holographic.

Yes dealer has already offered to fly down to Nassau and set them up - my expense of course. No point in not having them set up properly. Can then play with amps- Mac, Krell and Crown. Then there’s the cable decision 🙄

They were the North Creek. So long ago now I can’t recall how they sounded before. So right now I’m wondering if used Sasha DAWs are sonically close enough to the new WWPs. Pretty big price delta.

More speakers today. B&W 803 and 801s with Mac gear (no 802’s unfortunately). Clear and crisp with the 803’s predictably lacking in bass energy and sounded “small” probably because they were flanked by other speakers and were too close togeth...

Yes GIK on the walls, ceiling and bass traps in the corners. Even my 20 something kids wonder about it, but not after I play something they really know and like. MGMT’s Little Dark Age is a fabulous recording (CD).

I have a plan. I'll go listen to some speakers. Make a decision and assuming I like something I'll get them. I have a buyer for my 801s- I won't hand them over until I get the new ones installed and prefer them after a side by side comparison. If...

First world problems!

Thanks. I do have a pair of KEF LS50 and matching sub in another room in sub optimal setting just for TV. I’m impressed by the SQ for the size, build and price. They sound good on their own but playing the same piece through the 801s, you realize ...
