I wonder what you'd think of the Matrix speakers if you have heard one? My B&W 602 S3 speakers produced 3D depth to music very well, and when I had vinyl on- it did fill the room. I was expecting better from their 800 series. There is a YBA amp on Craigslist right now. Shame I can't afford it at the moment. Its only a 60 watter, but was very musical if I remember correctly. Don't recall how dynamic YBA was though. It is a high current design- is it not?

I have heard the B&W Matrix 801 whatever the last version was (they came out with the Nautilus 801 not long after that) and the 802. They weren't bad but at that time I heard as well the Monitor Audio Studio 50 and it was WAY better overall. THen I heard big planars and realized that both were way behind the best speakers.
I haven't heard a YBA but I believe it really depends on the model if it was a good design or not.
This is all way off original thread topic however you can also forget B & W 804D , tweeter output is up by +6dB around 12kHz giving audible brightness in the treble ,even a treble sting. (from Hi-Fi World Measured performance)

Yeah that would seem pretty deliberate on their part...naughty boys.
