| B&W 802D vs Vandersteen 5 used Stambler, thanks. Can you compare the 802D to the Vandersteen 5 (not 5a)? I realize there is a large difference in price, but you never know in this hobby. | |
| B&W 802D vs Vandersteen 5 used If that size does not work what would the better choices be? | |
| B&W 802D vs Vandersteen 5 used It is a big room. It is 13' wide, 36' long, and 8' high. The system is in one end with a family room with built in cabinets (with equipment in them). The speakers are almost 2' away from the back wall, but only 6' apart and toed in slightly to lis... | |
| B&W 802D vs Vandersteen 5 used Has anyone compared the Vandersteens versus the B&W 802D's? | |
| B&W 802D vs Vandersteen 5 used That was very interesting, please explain more on the B&W tricky first reflection comment. That could be a problem I am having with my current B&W 804 Nautilus. As to the comparisons, I do like a dynamic speaker, and a dry speaker is not w... | |

| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate That is too bad on the Vandersteens, they sounded interesting. I have to carefully review my placement options with the fireplace and built in cabinets on each side. Maybe I can figure out something. | |

| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate HiThis is one of my issues. The room is 13"w x 36 L, it starts as a family foom and goes into a kitchen. The speakers can only be about 12" - 16" away from the wall, the main listening area is 8' - 9' from the mains | |
| McCormack DNA 500 vs DNA 225 upgraded Thanks for the input.Heat could be an issue as the equipment is in a cabinet. I could add in a fan if I had to.My current preamp is actually a digital processor, an Anthem D2 with Arc room correction. I am not sure how this would match impedance w... | |
| musical sub AfcInteresting post, you got me to realize a couple things. I have not properly considered the room dimensions. It is 13 feet wide by 36 feet long and is a family room evolving into a kitchen at the other end. There is lots of floor stone and flat... | |
| Are B&W Nautilus 804's too bright What do you mean lowering the volume? On the speaker height they are monitors on the floor. | |
