| B&W 803D or 804D with ML 335 I think it depends on your room. The 804Ds are wonderful and have a compact footprint relative to the 803D and 802D, but do not have the same competence in the bass or sheer presence. Having said that, I own them and do not find them lacking in th... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound experience with 804Ds Just to close the loop on this, my MC302 arrived this week. The MC302 is the better amp in just about every way (and it should be as it's 3x as expensive as the ST-500). Above all though, I was right in detecting a certain cold and detached qualit... | |
| McIntosh MC302 Anyone else taken delivery or listened to an MC302? The net is unusually light on insights !Thank you | |
| Wyred 4 Sound experience with 804Ds Jult52, Charles1dad: it probably is a unique product of my system, I think the problem's in the mids. Could be that they're being sucked out by my (probably not so well matched in pedigree) CA dacmagic. Back to the drawing board. | |
| Wyred 4 Sound experience with 804Ds I also find that odd, in fact his review was very influential when making my choice. Just posting my experience for the benefit of potential purchasers, as I know I'm not imagining it. | |
| McIntosh MC302 Scrap that: just confirmed they are. | |
| McIntosh MC302 So does anyone know if it's shipping yet? | |
| 804Ds and bass performance Thanks for the tip James, I'll look into the ST500 also, I've also always factored aesthetics in a way that would probably disqualify me in the eyes of a few! It's just that apart from sound quality our equipment become prominent items of art/desi... | |
| 804Ds and bass performance By way of update, I finally have my 804D's and after around 20hrs of break-in can confirm that there are no issues in the bass department. Bass is extended but taut, a lot more focussed than the woolly sound my 604s once produced. The bass is ther... | |
| 804Ds and bass performance Thanks again for your responses. Fla, I hadn't thought of what you've suggested as an option for fine tuning the bass if necessary, great idea. I had the opportunity to hear a pair again, in a better environment, and am comfortable now that the ba... | |
| 804Ds and bass performance Thanks all, unfortunately the available range here is somewhat limited. E.g we don't have a dealer for PSB.Any more views from owners or anyone who has auditioned the 804Ds? Or anyone who's heard the Liuto?Thanks again |
