    ? about 802d

    Hi,

    Is it possible to triamp the 802d?

    I have a Linn c6100, which is producing 100w in 4 ohm into 6 channels, would it be possible to run the 802d's with this one? If not triamped then biamped maybe?

    No it's not possible to tri-amp the 802D without modifing the speaker, which I wouldn't recomend. You can bi-amp the 802D by connecting one amp channel to the top input on the speaker (for the midrange and tweeter) and one amp channel to the bottom input (for the woofers). Just make sure you DO NOT have the supplied jumper wires connected between speaker terminals or you'll have one unhappy amp!! You also will need to send the same signal into those two amp channels.

      Prepro for B&W/Krell combo?
      by dmccombs
      I have 803S Fronts, 804S Rears and a HTM1 for the Center channel. For amp I have a Krell 3x250 for the LCR, and a Krell 2x200 for the rears. Upgrading the fronts to 802D is possible in the distant future.

      802D and McIntosh 207 amp
      by fatcat
      Has anyone heard the N802/802D driven by the McIntosh 207 amp? It's rated at 200 watts/channel 8 ohms, but reportedly puts out closer to 300 watts. With McIntosh's reputation for driving most any speaker with ease, I'm not too concerned, but the 802 is famously power hungry.

      Of course,...

      New 802D's and what amp?
      by franklin_ron
      I have just bought a new B&W system. 802D, HTM2D, and 804s. I currently have a Krell KAV2250 and TAS driving the system. I am considering buying a McIntosh 402, Krell FPB400cx, or Nuforce Ref 9. I like the Mac, Krell is pretty expensive, does anyone have experience with the Nuforce and the 802...

      802D/HTM2D and which amp?
      by HedgeHog
      Hiya,

      Noobie questions:

      I'm planning on 802D and HTM2D for fronts and want to know what's the opinion on recommended amps? Initially, I was planning on Rotel RSP-1570 and RMB-1575 (5x250W). Then the value aspect of the Emotiva XPA series attracted me.
