    B&W 803D

    Hello from Holland.
    I'm new on this forum.
    Firts of all I'm very sorry for my bad English, but I will do the best I can :-)

    I'm planning to buy B&W 803D speakers. But I have a "small" room.
    About 20 m2. Plus an "open" kitchen plus some extra space. In total about 29 m2.
    Is this enough for the 803D's ??
    I will use Primare equipment, incl. the A32 amp (2 x 250 W)

    Thanks for your replies.
    Kind regards from Holland,
    Wim Vink

        Hi there from Moscow! Unlike 802s 803Ds have foam plugs - you can always tame the LF response. I myself heard 803Ds in a small room - sound was GOOOOOD

          Hello Wim,

          It is not much to be honest. They should also be freestanding in the room. I dont wether you can realize that a little bit.... 803 d is fine speaker
          Groeten !

            I believe that the 802Ds should sound fine. They are a great speaker and you should be very happy with them.

                I have mine on a Rotel RB1092 (digital 500wx2), and it rocks ... had it on a Rotel RB1080 200wx2 and not nearly as good as with the bigger amp... my room is modest too.

                  Test in STEREO: 803s against 803d.
                  by gerardhn
                  In the august number of the german magazine STEREO there is a review of a direct comparison of 803d vs s.
                  This magazine is not so good available here in Holland.
                  Could any german participant be so kind to make a scan available for this forum?

                  thx

                  Gerard

                  This is by no means a new DVD, and even the movie itself is 12 years old by now. But it's still one worth discussion and recommendation. Multiple Oscar and other award nominations and wins.

                  This one's fairly high on my list of favorite movies. For those who haven't seen it, Richard...

                  My experience with 803Diamond versus 803D
                  by Mark_NZ
                  I was a very happy owner of 803D loudspeakers for over 3 years - so happy in fact that I ended up owning 3 pairs over that time. Long story, but in short the first pair was replaced by B&W after I discovered a relatively minor veneer flaw (huge kudos to B&W support :T ). The second pair I...

                  Please help to fix HK AVR 255
                  by doubleTrouble
                  Gentlemen, I managed to burn 2 front channels on my Harman Kardon AVR-255 receiver. The woofers of the speakers are burnt as well.
                  I found the scheme, but don't really understand a lot.
                  I replaced the Q658 and Q652 just to find out that it did not fix the problem. I checked those transistors...
