      Now that C46 and MC402 are in place, still haven't pulled the trigger on the pair of 803D.

      One major reason is that B&W controls tightly on the retail price of the 800 series here in this part of the world. They are only available from B&W themselves at $9.5K (delivered and installed at home, 24-months interest free installments). I know that they are generally available in the US for $8K.

      Just can't swallow that easily.

      Need to find some good reasons to reach into my wallet........ :evil: :evil:

        We plan to move to a new house soon. It is a rental, so we have to live with the space pretty much as is. It is obviously not an optimal “listening room” but I wanted to ask what kinds of room treatments I should consider (there will be a carpet in the listening triangle).

        My current...
