| Best integrated, ??? Haven't heard it with the Dynaudios, but the MF TriVista Integrated 300 brought out new dimensions in my Nautilus 802s. Great product, great build. | |
| B & W N802 or Shahinian Hawks? The sounstage of the N802 is considerably bigger than that of the N803. | |
| Meridian 507, Rega Jupiter, Music Fidelity..ect ?? The MF 308cr cd player is excellent for redbook. It also mates well with B&W speakers. You should be able to get one used for $2k. Worth the extra dollars. | |
| Best 5K used or new for Musical A308cr System I would suggest the B&W Nautilus 803s with a subwoofer. MF and B&W mate well. The 308cr amp is a little bit light on the bass, so I would add the sub. | |
| Musical Fidelity Nu Vista CD vs. Cary 306/200 CD I tested the 306/200 last year before buying the MF 308cr cd. I really liked the sound of the 306, but when I tried to play a cd-rw the player couldn't read it.Tom | |
| Pre Outs on Musical Fidelity Tri Vista Integrated Why would you want to do this? I think the 350 wpc amp is fantastic. | |
| Nautilus803 with ASW 800, or 802 as main speakers? Both speakers are outstanding. I originally had the 803s and upgraded to the 802s. They have better base and a much bigger sound. The 802s are worth the extra money. | |
| Best amp for B&W 802 speakers I am running the MF Tri-Vista Integrated amp with the Nautilis 802s. Fantastic!! Great bass, delicate treble. | |
| Sony SCD-1:Is it time to tweak or upgrade to new? I had a lower level Sony SACD player modded by Richard Kern a couple years ago. As we live in the same city, I was able to see his setup. He was running a modded SCD-1. He told me that in his system, the modded SCD-1 was the best sound he had hear... | |
| B&W N802 owners - system matching help needed I have a pair of 802s and have been thinking about spiking them. Can you share your "special things" to try?Tom | |
| Which amplifier to drive B&W Nautilus 802? The Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista Intergrated amp sounds fantastic with the 802s. | |
| Various Wadia models Vs Cary Audio and others Have you tried the Ayre CX-7? I heard it with the same amp/preamp combo that you have -- with Vanderstein speakers). It was outstanding in that setup. | |
| tube vs ss for pre-amp. If you can swing it, the Hovland HP-100 sounds great with the Marsh. I used to run these into B&W Nautilus 803s & 802s. | |
| Cables for Musical Fidelity A308 set up I use Homegrown Audio Silver Lace for IC and speaker (bi-wired). Several months ago I added the A308 cd player. It sounds great in my system (Hovland pre, Marsh amp, B&W N802s)with the Homegrown. | |
| Cd player or Nautilus 804 Having owned n803s and now 802s I can tell you that they won't truely break in for several months -- the 803s took six months, the 802s a little less. Give them a chance.Tom |
