    Need help with driving a B&W 803D speakers and also a digital Source

    I just majorly upgraded my speakers B&W 704 with B&W 803D and have kept the integrated Cayin 88-T 22Watts per channel tube amp, which worked fine with the 704s, now with 803D I do not seem to be getting the element of presence, the detailing however is good as it should be from an excellent tube amp. I had auditioned 803D with Mcintosh MC 6900 and the sound was quite upfront bold and detailed.

    The question is do I need to upggrade my amp and if so which one - the MC 6900 or DK Design VS-1 Ref MKIII or someother ?

    I am also looking out for a source has anyone experienced Mcintosh MCD 201, Townshend TA 565 or Ayre C-5XE - any recommendations?

      I am interested in supporting high quality Canadian audio manufacturers (where possible), and Bryston and Simaudio Moon products...

      My experience with 803Diamond versus 803D
      by Mark_NZ
      I was a very happy owner of 803D loudspeakers for over 3 years - so happy in fact that I ended up owning 3 pairs over that time. Long story, but in short the first pair was replaced by B&W after I discovered a relatively minor veneer flaw (huge kudos to B&W support :T ). The second pair I...

      803D vs. 802D vs. 804S - a subjective comparison
      by Hannu
      I had an in-depth private demo at a scandinavian dealer last week. I compared 802D's to 803D's and finally listened to a pair of 804S's just to keep the things in scale. I've lived with a pair of the first generation N804's for 4 years now.

      The electronics consisted of a stack of the...
