Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Disagree

JeffMO,

I would not say that, in my case, N801's, don't have a sonic signature. They do I'm sure. But what I do know is that these speaks simply give you, IMHO, a clear window to the recording. My experience has been that cable changes, and electronics changes are easily heard vs. the "romantic" speakers out there that seem to butter everything up.

I have found that, unfortunately for some, including myself, these speakers take some work to set up properly. It will take some time and patience for most. I have never heard these sound good in a dealer showroom. But I bought my 801's because of the driver compliment and power handling. I intended to drive these in a big room with big high-watt monoblocs. I believed in what the speaker could do. After almost 15 months, I finally figured out how to set them up properly. ( rookie mistakes)

I'm sure these won't be that last pair of speakers I will own. But they have given me a great monetary and entertainment value over the last few years. For what you can buy these (n801's) for used, to me, they seem like a bargain for a full range speaker.

BTW: B&W expects that you will honor their fine speakers by supplying only the best in high current amplification.

Good Listening!
