    difference between series

    can you guys tell me the "difference" in sound between say a 6, 7 and 8 series bookshelf? please give me your subjective opinions.

    also, if I also like pop and r&b type of music, are b&w's still advisable? (i have this pre-conceived notion that b&w's are great with jazz and classical)

    oh and btw, since these bookshelves have about a max rating of 120w,
    what difference in sound will I hear if I use a
    a) a rotel integrated amp
    b) a rotel pro + rb1070 (120w x 2)
    c) a rotel pro + rb1080 (200w x 2)

      Please use the search option. The question has been asked many times. As far as sound. 600 is a good start. The difference between the 600 and up is that the soundstage of the 700 and 800 is more 3 dimensional versus the 600's 2 dimensional soundstage. 700 vs 800, 800 is very pure to the music. The 700 is a bit forward and seems to do better with movies because of this. That's my feel.

              Good day from Ottawa, Canada

              CP-700 vs. SSP-800 Two Channel sound
              by FALCODEAN
              Dear Classe members,
              I am currently a two channel only listener with the following set-up:
              CDP 502
              CP 700
              2x CAM 400
              My question is whether the SSP 800 would deliver the same two channel sound that the CP 700 delivers (as I am looking int HT options).
              Falco...

              by perla4u
              Folks,

              I am in the market for a used Sub woofer and a quick look at audiogon, I found 2 Subs that are in my price range. A used ASW800 and an used ASW700 (actually 700 price is 150$ more than 800 in the listing). Any other better subs in B&W line? I do see ASW825 for sale but for...

              Which series do you own: 600, 700 or 800?
              by RebelMan
              Several posts around the forum got me thinking about the popularity of the different B&W series of speakers. I believe of the three primary series (600, 700 and 800) the 600 series is by far the most popular. While the 800 series is reserved for the hi-end esoteric the 600 series is the entry...

              700 vs 800 preamp
              by Antonkk
              Frankly I don't care much for all this media player stuff so my main concern is tradition audio. Is the new 800 preamp better than the good ole 700? I think I can buy a used 700 for the same price as the new 800 only 700 was made in Canada while 800 is China made.
