Mid-range enclosure Difference (703 vs 800/801)?
This is my first post, so I apologize in advance if this is a trivial question. I was wondering what the difference between the midrange enclosed in the 801/802 models and the mid in the 703 model.

Check out this post...
There is a link a white paper talking about all of the technology used in the new B&W 800 speakers. Look for the section that talks about "Marlan" (the material used to make the 800/801/801 enclosure and then look in Appendix V which talks about the reasoning behind the shape.
Actually, if you have enough time, the entire white paper is an interesting read, albeit way over my head in more than one spot.

Hi, I'm a new guy here and this is my first post. I'm thinking about building a McIntosh/B&W system for both stereo and HT. Of course it starts with fronts.

I spent some time comparing 704 / 703 / 804S during a serious listening session. I was looking to either buy the 703 (and use my 704 as surrounds), or an amp (I drove home with the RSP1068 + RMB1075, see post Rotel section). My results:
704: familiar sound, but in this context a little... -
Hi,
This is my first post and I hope with your help I can make a more intelligent decision regarding the purchase of my first premium HT as well as get some critique on the overall HT.

I got a chance of getting a pair of Matrix 800's in such a good condition (Series II Edition, made between 1991/1992), but I would like to know what could I improve over my Matrix 801 Series III. I know I could have more dynamics, but apart from that (I really do not need more), what could I expect...
