[Hallett]

well I just picked up my new 802D'S today & wanted to say thanks for all the great info that you guys gave me on the speakers I'm so happy with them
they are so nice . the Bryson 4B-sst works very well great amp .thinking about a 7B-SST to go with the 4B-SST from what I have been reading
this works very well together. any advise would be great. :T :T
I still need the spikes they are on the way. the black ash is the bomb ;x(

Now you get to play with speaker placement. Once you get them where they HAVE to go play with the toe in before you get your spikes it's all in tweeter direction. Try toe in set to tweeter direction 2ft outside each shoulder in normal listening position. Then try pointed directly at EACH EAR not your face. I think you will find about a 3 inches out side of your shoulders very good at least that what mine came out to be with my room acoustics. When doing this use familiar songs on different CD's cause the main vocals will switch from dead center on various. Pick the middle of the road balance point. Also check midrange screw on back of speaker make sure after shippng it is as tight as you can get it with two fingers no wrenchs. Use two fingers index and the buisness finger as fork and torque. Congratulations I like mine in Black ASH also.

nice :T .... so are you planning on running the 4bsst bi-amping one speaker and the 7bsst bi-wire the other? that will work but probably sound different.

well funny you should ask. I am driving my 802D with a 4B-SST also. Now I have considered purchasing another 4B-SST and bi-amping the mains and purchasing a 3B-SST and bi-amping the center.
Then I read that splitting the signal from the pre/pro with a Y splitter will degrade the signal. After much thought and reserching if you dont have a pre/pro that has channel outputs for by-amping you are better off with a pair of mono blocks.

I am going to just stay with the 4B-SST till I am ready to make the plunge to a pair of MC501s.
