Pictures of your B&W Set-up

[dukester]

In the film "The adjustment bureau" we can see a couple of 805. I'd like to ask you which is the amp who is running them but I don't know how to insert an image.

If I click the buttom "image", the tab "<IMG>" appears but I don't know what to do next.

Can somebody help me? Thank you

Recently watched it...looks like a pair of 805s (on their sides?!) paired with what appears to be ROTEL.

Anyone got much experience with Musical Fidelity? Do you think I would notice a significant improvement moving up to a Musical Fidelity A3.2 Integrated?

Thanks!

I have a MF3.2 which I use to drive my 703s. I've always thought it had plenty of power for my use which is mostly 2 channel listening. I've also used the home theater byplass before I started converting to multi-channel. I wish my current rig had that option.

As you probably know, the 3.2 is 115w per channel, so looks like a good power increase from your Arcam. But, not having heard the Arcam, I can't offer an opinion about how much difference you'd hear. As I'm sure most will say, always best to listen to both if possible. But feel free to PM me if you have questions or I can help as you consider the MF. In fact, if you were in the states and did decide you wanted one, I'd make you a deal on mine as it has been packed up in a box for the last year now that I've gone multi-channel. Happy shopping!

Hey guys, new to the server. Pretty happy when I found it. Love bowers and wilkins. Some people on here have some dream lands for me!! Loving to see the grills off!!

But for now i'm just looking at getting some 686 book shelf speakers.
I'm going to be setting them up with just an auxilery from the computer to the amp.
(games/movies)
Does anyone know on any other speakers, don't have to be bookshelf, any at all is fine. Might be looking at second hand. Anywhere under a grand would be awesome!
If you have any opinion on what would be good for money with just a 2.0 system that would be awesome. Also what kind of 2 channel amp would I be looking at buying to drive them?

Also, the mm1's arn't for me, just discluding them from the table.

Thanks guys, So glad to find the forum!

Just for your curiosity, going to get a set of 5.0 683's in the hopefully 'near' future with a Velodyne Sub.

[Taylo_2]

Don't worry, not that anyone has already read my last comment or not.
I've scored myself a pair of DM 601 S2 for $330 off ebay. I reckon that's a good deal since from what I've gatherd the new equivalent to this is the 685's and they are $900.
So I think I did pretty well.

I am looking for a 2 channel amp to drive them. what's people's opinion on getting a second hand Rotel RA-810A AMP Stereo Integrated Amplifier, I've seen a one for $150, would that be worth it?

Thanks.

I added dual Emotiva XPA-1's to my setup.

So you've had the XPA-1s for a while now, what do you think of them? I'm thinking of pairing them up with my N802s...

[dtzn]

i stumbled across this thread by accident and couldn't believe my eyes. just had to register and contribute.

i have:
2x 603s
1x 16 inch energy subwoofer
powered by Yamaha Rxv1700
there's also a Pioneer BPD LX52 bluray player which is amazing.

i've owned them for nearly 4 years now i think, my previous place had my hometheater in the living room but i got sick of other people using it so it is now in my bedroom with my pc's. i have audio technica ADH700 headphones plugged into the amp if i need to be quiet :P forgive the mess in my room in these pics.

im pretty happy with the setup, im 25 yrs old at the moment and bought these 4yrs ago. so maybe when im well off i will upgrade to the 800 series. heres hoping.

[Djas_Puhr]

Sigh... I miss my 603s3's. They're just so good-sounding/looking.

Dtzn, never let them go.

[Djas_Puhr]

...or you could sell them to me.

[impala454]

Sorry this is off topic, but Djas, is it really sad that I knew instantly who your username refers to?

[Djas_Puhr]

Haha. That's great!

CAM-600 on 805DS isn't that a bit of overkill?

[RoDa]

RoDa, that's a great looking room!
The picture on the wall, the table, the curtains... the whole combination works. Very nice! What are your components? And what speaker cable are you using in this picture?
Looks great. Congrats!

Thank you!

The components are
Rega P5 with groovetracer mods
Ortofon Rondo Blue
Rotel Michi RHQ-10 RIAA
Logitech Squeezebox Touch
Rega DAC
Audionet SAM V2 integrated amplifier
...and the speakercables are Harmonic Technology Pro9+

The B&W 805s didn't quite work for me in my living room, sad to say...
So I went back to floorstanders, and no B&Ws this time ops:

Regards
Rolf

[RoDa]

So what are your impressions with the switch? I'm assuming there is going to be some kind of musical sub added to the system?
Looks beautiful man, really nice.

The 805s were a big step up from the CM9!
Incredible soundstaging, clean and precise sound.
Able to handle really high volume without sounding harsh.

The only problem was in the bass region, not enough weight.
I didn't want to add subwoofers, so they were replaced by floorstanders.. again

Hi Bring,

nice roon & system :T
like jericho, I think too that the 600mono's are a bit overkill....

but if a pair of 800/802 are on the way ok....

Is a CP700 or the new 800?

Denon for HT?

thx,
Style

[Bring]

the new 800

Hello all,
I am a first time poster here so I thought I would share some pics of my system.

Thanks, Aaron

[dukester]

Nice system abenson! Curious regarding your speaker placement, have you messed with toe-in at all?

[John22614]

Beautiful set up ......where did you get the glossy AV furniture? Looks fantastic with your speakers and electronics. I think the natural cherry looks great with black. Well done!

Thanks John! The stand is a bdi mirage. It is nice and even the monster mcintosh amp fits in there well.

[cjm80]

Fantastic setup abenson. Looks like the speakers have room to breathe too!

[Lex]

Bring, like your setup, so clean and pure looking.

[Taylo_2]

Bring your set up is awesome, but your fluro orange speaker cable is a bit off putting.

[jonesy805]

Bring, what a fantastic setup. Those 600 momo's must make those 805 diamonds sing. What is your general opinion of the CP800?

[Bring]

general opinion of the CP800 it is a very good preamp.

[Weetabix]

Hey Bring,

Very nice, a quickie suggestion if I may, allow a greater distance between those mono-blocs, as they have the potential to contaminate the signal of each other when placed in close proximity of each other.

I've tried this before with a number of mono-blocs and there is a subtle yet obvious difference to be heard.

best regards

[cjm80]

Something can't be both subtle and obvious

[smiletimeDK]

My next project in 2012 will be the new speaker B&W 804 Diamond. Cant wait and the new PV1D or two in a new and bigger apartment 8)

[htsteve]

smiletimeDK,

Very nice setup! It goes so well with everything else.
