| Need Help with Subwoofer Choice BTW,I saw a new SVS SB12-NSD on Amazon $399 with manfacturer's warranty.It's the recently discontinued predecessor of the SB-2000. Any opinions on this sub? I know it's made in China, but most of them seem to be these days. | |
| B&W 802S Versus 803d3 with subwoofer FWIW, I just got a subwoofer to integrate with my B&W N804s. I think you have to take room size and room treatment into consideration when considering a sub. Also, consider whether you'll be listening mostly to music (sealed sub) or using it m... | |
| Subwoofer Phase Delay Thanks joseph796 ... very interesting and informative. | |
| Subwoofer Phase Delay Fortunately, the room is well treated. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... Thanks to everyone for their comments and advice. I'm now one very happy camper. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... Thanks, Scott. | |
| How much power needed for B&W 683? As the owner of B&Ws for 15 years, I can tell you that they are power hungry, and love clean, solid state watts. Tube power amps make them sound flabby, in my experience. I would recommend no less than 150 wpc to get the best out of them. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... UPDATE ... So, I received the L12 yesterday and have integrated it into my system with a cross-over at about 55Hz. Integration was seamless and quite easy. The L12 has made a huge difference in that: (a) it gives me that extra bit of articulate, b... | |
| Best value in pre-owned preamps right now? This may be fairly old school, but the BAT VK-3i (if you can find one) is off the scale when it comes to sound vs value. I hardly ever see them up for sale as most folks keep 'em ... they're THAT good. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... @knownothing ... I agree with you that the N804s are basically monitors with built-in stands. The purpose of the sub in this application is not to get the lowest bass possible, but simply to embellish the existing bass slightly. For my very small ... | |
| Not seeing the sound aolmrd1241 ... I’m not that funny. ;-) Misunderstandings occur, so let’s forget it ever happened. | |
| Resale value Very interestimg comments all around. I would love to buy really boutique stuff, but I notice that it tends to stay up for sale for long periods or is reposted for sale at later dates. Guess there's so much great sounding equipment from well-known... | |
| Not seeing the sound aolmrd1241 ... No! I moved quite recently, so I had to start from scratch in a new room. Bet you didn’t bother to think of that possibility before posting insulting comments, did you, Einstein? And, quite frankly, I posted a legitimate question, t... | |
| Rotel RA-1570 vs Musical Fidelity A300 I am currently running N804s through a MF A300cr power amp (225 wpc). I had upgraded from a Rotel 1070. The Rotel was grainy and never quite sounded right. The MF is an incredible dual-mono beast, and sounds very musical. Also, B&Ws like lots ... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... @shadorne ... that's exactly what I intend to do for now. I just want a little "oomph" in the bottom end, that's all. I really like the sound of the N804s. The 804d3s are no slouches, trust me, and they are a bit of a different flavor; however, to... |
