    amp good enough when I upgrade?

    Wow, this forum is a money trap... I went from nothing to getting (IMO) a decent amateur home theater system... I had not a clue of what goes into one (and still am not really sure as I am still learning) and ended up with thousands of dollars going into setting one up.... within the last month or two I purchased

    LG 42pc1da
    2 B&W 805's fronts
    2 B&W M-1's rears mounted
    1 B&W HTM4$ Center channel
    Yamaha RX-V2700
    B&K reference 200.5
    PS3 for games/blu-ray
    XBOX 360 for games/HD-DVD
    Monster 3600 power conditioner

    Anyway due to limited space i opted for 805's but am going to move to a new location later this fall when I head to UCBerkely with a bigger amount of space... Now I was thinking of either adding 2 more 805's or adding 2 804's and moving the 805's to the rear. Will my amp be enough to produce good sound from the 804's if I so happen to go that route... and what would be better? the 4 805's or 2 and 2?

    thanks

      The Ref 200.5 is a pretty solid amp. I think it would be fine for a pair of 804s if you decide to go that route.

      For the money, I always liked the 805s over the 804s, but that's just my preference in terms of performance vs. $$.

        by tboooe
        Hi, so I am in the market for some new floorstanders as an upgrade to my recently sold 805S. I have already budgeted money for either the 804S or 803S. While auditioning both I also listened to some other speakers, just to make sure I truly wanted to stay with B&W. Of course there are many other...

        805S + REL Sub or 804S?
        by tboooe
        Hi, I have the 805S and was thinking about adding a REL Strata sub. The price for this combo is pretty similar to that of the 804S. So my quesiton is whether or not I should just skip the 805S + Sub combo and go directly to the 804S? Will the 804S still require a sub? Does the 805S + Sub sound as...

        HI All,
        I’m in the midst of an experiment. The HT system I am currently putting together is for my bedroom. It’s now mostly finished and I must say it sounds very good. Here is the essence of the experiment.

        Can I use a good bookshelf speaker (the 805S) and a good subwoofer...

        Sorry about all these attack of the threads.. but as you guys noticed that I make alot of threads when the decision time comes..

        I guess warranty is what I'm looking at and seems to me that the 804S is exactly the same in specs as the 803S just that the 803S has a bigger cabinet, .5"...
