In Reply to: Best speaker for $15K ? posted by audioNeil on February 26, 2012 at 19:56:25:
I have not heard the other speakers you have mentioned but I absolutely love the new 802 Diamonds. I previously owned the N802 for 11 years and was very pleased with the sound quality and did not expect the amount of improvement with the new 802 Diamond in terms of overall coherency of sound, smoothness of treble and the detail and solidity of the bass.
I also find these speakers do very well at low volumes in comparison to the previous version that needed some power behind them to open up.
I have listened to the 802 Diamonds and my previous N802 with a couple of different Bryston amplifiers of the new SST generation and was not happy with the sound in comparison to using the Classe Delta series. The speakers were not as smooth and sounded a bit on the bright side with the Bryston and with the Classe they were much more organic and natural sounding even at very high volume levels.
If you can try the new 802 diamonds with Classe or Ayre components and I think you will hear a dramatic improvement.
There are many HIFI publications in Europe and the US that have had nothing but great things to say about the new 802 Diamond in comparison to the previous generation diamond.
For the money I feel they are a bargain and build quality is better than most of the competitors at their price point.
Good luck in your search.
