Sub ASW750 and B&W 804

[Cooldmitriy]

Guys,

What do you think about mixing 700 and 800 series. Sub for 800 is too expensive, so I want to go with ASW 750 instead. My left and right speakers are 804 and receiver Rotel 1056.

Thank you

Look for a discontinued model - ASW800 - I got mine for less than a 700 series sub.

Minor,

They are not available anymore. It has been a while since B&W discontinues them. :cry:

I think he meant to tell you to look for one at the used market. Try audiogon or eBay, I see a few ASW800 from time to time. I wish I have the funds to pick up one. I'm sure they are better than the ASW750, not to mention the matching of cabinet design.

I was originaly going to get the 804s and use the 750 as sub mainly for price.
The 750 is a great sub, not sure if there will be a huge improvement moving up to the 800series, but i can't say 100% as i have never heard them. Unless having the sub look identical to your main speakers is of major concern to you the 750 will do a fine job and at least you can still match the colour finish with it
