| B & W Nautilus I'm really not familiar with the Audio Research amplifier. If it will produce also produce current (Amps) not just Watts, then yes it will drive the 802's. Be advised that although the speakers are nominally 8 Ohm loads, they will go under 4 Ohms ... | |
| B & W Nautilus I would add one more thought. If you are using any manufacturers' pistonic motion type speaker, whether it's a Sonus Faber, Wilson, etc., - if they are of the same size and relative driver configuration as the 802 - you're going to have the same p... | |
| B & W Nautilus It will depend upon where you're going to put them in the room. If you can put them at the small end, and use the long dimension to get back away from them, I think they will work fine. They will certainly be very powerful in that size space.If yo... | |
| B & W Nautilus They need a lot of current to drive them properly. Watts don't really count. I drove mine with 130 Watts / channel receiver and they sounded okay, but with music or video that had successive loud passages, you could hear and feel the amp run out o... | |
| Is Cinepro any good? They are no longer in business. The owner died sometime last year, and my understanding is that his widow liquidated the business. | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction I have bad ears. I can't hear the difference between electronic components or cables with 3 hours on them or 300 hours. However, I will attest to the fact that the speakers I purchased changed markedly (for the better) after 200 hours on them. I w... | |
| Problem with Home Theater Volume Hi - can't tell you what the problem might be with your system, but...The THX standard for surround sound levels is: dialog 75dB and loudest sound 105dB. So if you're reading 100-105 dB at your viewing/listening position, your system may really be... | |
| Best 5 Channel Amp BAT VK-6200. Downside is that at 230 pounds it takes 1 guy name Magnussen ver Magnussen to lift it, or two regularly sized humans with no back problems. Also won't fit in most normal racks because of the depth - but, it sounds great. | |
| Talon Khorus x or B&W 802 ***Sorry you feel that way.***Feel what way? I didn't say I felt anyway. I clearly said that as a dealer you have to sell products you like. I used to sell audio equipment, and I've sold photo equipment and professional video equipment. I always l... | |
| Talon Khorus x or B&W 802 Since you're a dealer and obviously have a bias towards the product you sell (which is okay - you need sell products you like) - I fail to see the point of this post. | |

| Plasma vs. CRT based HDTV The problem with plasma is that after about three year's use (if you use it a lot), it will be about 1/2 as bright. I do a lot of plasma displays for airport use (have used Fujitsu, Hitachi, NEC, etc.) and after they've been on for 3 months you ca... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Models? What did you listen to? Break-in & electronics make a huge difference. I have no idea what models you listened to, but, I can tell you that I have heard N800's sound good and bad depending upon the electronics, amount of break-in time,... | |
| which amp? too many choices The 4802 has a very good pre-amp with a great decoding section. It also has the advantage for 2-channel stereo to use the "pure direct" mode. I'd look at the Theta Dreadnaught and the Balanced Audio Technologies VK-6200. Either the Theta or the BA... | |
| CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed? I take umbrage at your denigration of snack food industry icon. It was totally uncalled for. At no time has Hostess ever made the claim that their cupcake was as good as, or even a substititute for, a chocolate cake made from premium ingredients. ... |
