First time poster in this forum, a great place for B&W info!
We are currently in the prosess of upgrading our home cinema. We have had the old (but to my ears still quite good) 801 Matrix S3. We have after listening to some alternatives decided on 802D and HTM1D.
I plan to build a low "base" to lift the HTM1D aprox 20 cm up from the ground for it to be at the bottom of our screen. Anyone having done some smart ideas here? Do you use the HTM1D with the port plugs incerted? What distanse do you have to your back wall (from the back of the speaker)?
We alsom have decided on subs and orderend a pair of JL Audio F1113. Anyone else have the combination? One or two? If so where do you cross over to get the best intergration, 80hz? If two have you connected them chained in mono or stereo?
Anyone have some toughts on amplification on the 802D/HTM1D's? One of our alternative is a A 600 watt ICE (Built on the B&O modules) sold locally in scandinavia, any toughts (We are wery impressed with them on the old 801s? Any other power amps good on the 802Ds, that are not ridicuous expencive?
We also wil buy a new Sourrond PRE. Anyone using the integra DTC-9.8 with the 800s? Are you satisfied with the combination?
The Integra/onkyo is not avalible yet in Norway but will be in april may. Is it worth the wait or are there other good alternatives (We only use digital sources for music and film) can be recomended?
Thanks in advance!
