| B&W 705s3 vs Kef Meta R3 Just chiming in to add that the magnolia setups cannot be trusted. I honestly can’t believe that many high end brands even sell their stuff through Best Buy. Maybe occasionally you have one that’s setup properly and the employee is passionate ... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 First of all I’d like to say thanks to all of you for chiming in and trying to help, I really appreciate every response. @audphile1 the same is generally said about the 802Ds I had before, and they sounded the same powered by my Denon 4520 as the... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 Thank you, @davetheoilguy !! Funny that you have yours paired with SVS subs as well. I liked the sound of them better than the B&W sub i had before. I have a measurement mic and will measure with REW this week. Will post graphs here. d... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 Thanks @ap1, there isn’t. I don’t think B&W ever made foam plugs for these as they would need to be the size of a sofa cushion ☺️ the port is massive. An advantage of down firing to the plinth is that the distance is always constant and th... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 @curiousjim thank you for the suggestion, I am bi-wiring so can rule that out as an issue. | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 Thank you, @joey_v. these were supposed to be my endgame speakers, so I’m hoping it’s the room and that they’ll sound different when I have a dedicated listening space. to the folks who suggested REW - I had everything dialed in perfectly ... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 Thanks everybody for reading this post. @joey_v yes, they are producing bass. Just not very much of it compared to the 802s. It’s possible I’m sitting in a null, but I’ve had my set up this way for six years and the 802s were located in the ... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 @mgrif104 thanks for your reply. Yes, I’ve run them individually and confirmed they are in phase. The drivers all work. Speakers are cosmetically and mechanically in like new condition. they’re in the same spot as the 802s and since the cabine... | |
| Advice on B&W 800D Vs Diamond Just came across this old thread, so not sure if you’re still looking for advice. I went from an 802D to 800D2 and they are quite different. Have you heard either speaker at a store so that you know their general sound signature? | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma Surprised that nobody mentioned Audyssey Dynamic EQ yet. I have my Denon set for Audyssey to bypass the front speakers since the automatic calibration always sounds worse to my ears, but I have Dynamic EQ enabled which makes it sound excellent at ... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? @squared80 I agree with the sentiment that subs are either good or they aren’t, but for my own taste I find sealed subs with smaller drivers to be more “musical” because they trade peak output for speed and accuracy. it’s why I went with dual SVS... | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) I recently purchased a pre-owned Classé Sigma Amp2 (class D) in mint condition to pair with my B&W 802D and am really enjoying it. I got a great deal ($1,300 - MSRP was $3,500) and it tested favorably in all reviews it was featured in. Anybody... |
