    Center Channgel for 804S

    Just want some suggestions on what could be a good center match to these speakers in the BW line other than the 800 series (budget reasons).

    Currently using the LCR600 as center for now.

    Thanks.

      I would recommend running without a center if you can't afford one from the 800 line up. Its hard to blend in a different brand with B&W mains I found. I would recommend getting a Nautilus HTM1 on audiogon, they can be had for about $12-1500 on there and would work great with your 804S's.

          Listening fatigue with the new 804S’s?
          by RebelMan
          I went to my local B&W dealer today and spent about an hour or so listening to the new 805Ss and 804Ss. I concluded that the 804Ss are worth the difference in price and I decided to make them a part of a new home entertainment system I am building. But, just for kicks, I wanted to know what another...

          Floorstanding Center Channel for HT?
          by EAmin
          Has anyone done any A/B testing on a floorstanding center vs. a normal center channel on a stand for HT? For example, would three B&W 804Ss as LCRs sound very different from an 804S/HTM3S setup? I know multi-channel music will sound better with a matching front stage, but I'm worried about the...

          MC501s for 804S rears?
          by jack d
          I don't know if this is going to sound totally nuts but here goes:

          I just recently upgraded to three MC501s for my 802Ds and HTM1D. I was driving the 802Ds with an MC402 which I now use with my rear 804S speakers. I'm extremelly happy with the sound improvement up front compared to the...

          Center Channel Conspiracy?
          by RebelMan
          Something that has been on my mind for quite some time is what I like to call the Center Channel Conspiracy Theory. Many of us already know the "theoretical" importance of timbre' matching speakers, especially across the front stage. But what is the real (practical) importance of speaker...

          Amp For New Bowers and Wilkins 804S Speakers
          by Russ L
          Looking forward to my new B&W 804S speakers! Question is what Amp should I go with? I need to skip the expense of separates. Integrateds are much better designed now anyway. I have narrowed it down to:
          1. Classe CAP-2100 100W/ch @ $5000
          2. Moon Evolution i-7 150W/ch @ $6000...
