    803D & Musical Fidelity A5

    I have a pair of matrix 804's that I have enjoyed for the last 11 years. My new 803D's will arrive next week, can't wait till they arrive! I have the MF A5 amp and CD player, that I purchased a few month's ago. Just wanted some input from anyone who is familiar with the two products, if they think my amp has enough power to make my new speakers sound as I am hoping they will. Thanks for your inputs, this is my first post.

    I reckon they should e a great match. I took my MF A5 gear over to a friends place with b&w 703s and I reckon the b&w sound went well with mf.

    the a5 integrated is pretty grunty plenty of power. if you want more oomph you might want too consider the a5 pre-pwr combo instead but thats a bit of a price hike up.

      I am running the A5 CD and power amp with 802Ds. Excelent combination and I suspect you will achieve similar results with your 803Ds.

      Congrats on your purchase.

        My A5 hardly breaks a sweat driving Nautilus 804s, so I can't imagine why it wouldn't do a great job with 803Ds. Enjoy!

          Review of my new 803Ds
          by bigburner
          Two weeks ago I became an 803D owner.

          I can only compare the new 803Ds to the CDM9NTs that they replaced as the combination of my listening room and my gear is one of a kind (as they all are).

          The tweeter in the 803D is a big improvement over the CDM9NT, which was too bright...

          B&W 803D vs. Celestion A3
          by Michael Bishop
          I've been toying with the idea of replacing my Celestion A3 main theater speakers with something else. I've had the Celestions for about 7 years. They are great speakers - but perhaps a little bit too polite in the base department. There have been some improvements in speaker technology in the last...

          B&W 803D Versus 802D Review
          by beden1
          Well, I spent over 3 hours at the Classe/B&W dealer today to demo the SSP-800 for the first time, as well as to compare the 803Ds to the 802Ds once again.

          For this post, I eliminated the section of my Classe SSP-800 review that I posted in the Classe Forum section.

          802D vs 803D - A personal impression
          by Aussie Geoff
          Hi,

          I got my local B&W dealer to set-up an extended, private comparison between the 803D and the 802Ds... Same amp. music and room... The system was based on McIntosh 602 amps (600W a channel) with the McIntosh pre and CD player. Incidentally I liked the amp but felt that the pre
