In Reply to: Anyone have knowledge of these speakers? Bowers@Wilkins 808 Monitors? posted by "skeptic" on February 21, 2007 at 17:37:26:
The 808 was developed with the basic goal of giving similar sound to the 801 (NOT the 801 matrix), but with much greater volume capability - specifically 120 dB continuous.Since most will concur that 70 watts won't make a pair of 801s sing, you'd better believe it won't fare well on the 808 either.
Now if he could biamp them with the tubes on the mid/tweets & say 300 wpc solid state on the woofers...

- The 808 was one heck of a monitor, but 70 watts of KT88 isn't going to cut it - David S. 10:59:27 02/22/07 (0)
