In Reply to: My experience FWIW with N801's posted by MurrayP on July 23, 2002 at 19:17:29:
All I can say is I'm envious of you. B&W takes a beating but I too have heard breathtakingly expensive systems from Cabasse and JM labs and Legacy etc and none of them really beat the 801s if the set-up is bang on. And I also notice that the store that brings in the B&W competition a year later still only carries the B&W line as all the others get thrashed. Now they simply carry Monitor Audio and one other for the lower end models.To me the B&Ws are the best boxed speaker I've heard...though the Reference 3a MM De Capo I like a lot better than the 805...but the 805 is no 801. Still I'd be interested to hear the La Suprema one day.
The REAL competition for B&W comes from esoteric Horn companies or Electrostats that offer a different sound entirely...different however doesn't mean better.
