In Reply to: Many Have No Idea Just How Good A Matrix 801 Really Is posted by ka7niq on March 19, 2007 at 22:44:51:
The high end retailers here have a bunch of Matrix 801s still kicking around -- and B&W made a mistake opting for looks over sound quality in the much worse N801 which costs far more and offers far less.Not the N801 is bad -- in a big room with SET amplifiers I was very impressed but at the massive price tag it is just not worth it.
The only caveat remains that treble which always seems to sound unrelated to musical events and quite often a compartmentalized sound. It is really evident on their CDM(except the 2SE) and 700 series.
Soundhounds was carrying and may still be the Diamond 800 series. Have you heard them? For more than $20k? -- Well if that was the only 20K plus speaker I heard I would be opting for some Sennheiser HD 600s.
