      I drive my 800D's with a Bryston for now but if I were you I would audition some other amps before deciding. The Bryston drives them well but may be a little fatiguing with the diamond tweeter after awhile. I think the Bryston is a great amp but you can find a better match for that speaker.

          I don't have the diamonds but I have Bryston 7B St's with N801's an dthey are very smooth (i.e. no fatigue). I do need to mention that I have a Musical Fidelity preamp that is not bright at all.

            sure....throw a tube pre or CDP in with the Bryston will help. Fatigue may have been to harsh of a description. How about very accurate to the point of irritation on some recordings.

              Very accurate is a good description. Ive used Bryston 7Bs for over a year and loved them on my 802s.

              I suppose I should mention they are now forsale I am gonna sure be sad to see them go, however I am wanting some krells.

                The Musical Fidelity is SS but it is very smooth on top (and detailed). It was highly recommended by Upscale Audio for "tube guys who are sick of tube maintenance." I bought it and love it.

                As far as your irritation, I started using a DEQ 2496 for some room correction. You can program a rolloff on teh high end. The 'X Curve (3 db/octave) is too steep. I use about 1 to 2 from about 2.5 hz up. Works very well. :T

                  Krell 400xi is a simple set up

                    B&W 802D's and Rotel RB-1092, any thoughts?
                    by digitalshah
                    I am considering getting a pair of B&W 802D's and already own Bryston 4BSST and Rotel RB-1092 amps. Trying to decide which of the two amps would suit the 802D's better and sell the other one. Thanks to all of you who provided their input on the Bryston with 802D's on an earlier thread. I am leaning...

                    802D and Jeff Rowland Model 201 or 501
                    by dimigr
                    My curiosity got the best of me and last Saturday I went to my local dealer for an audition of the new 802D. The setup included an all Classe setup CD,Pre and the 200W/Ch Power amp. I am the owner of a 802N pair so I was curious about the improvement that the new speaker has to offer. The difference...

                    801 Series 2 - Rowland and Classe matching?
                    by deepbluebda
                    I have been chatting to a B&W rep - about proper matching for my 801 Series 2 in a HT setup. I currently have them in stereo only on a Jeff Rowland Model 1.

                    To move them over to HT, B&W suggests the Classe SSP-600, the B&W HTM2 and matched rears - and 3 or 5 more amplifier...

                    Jeff Rowland Amps
                    by Lex
                    I've noticed a tremendous number of Jeff Rowland amps for sale on Audiogon. Anybody got any ideas as to why? Well, the number sure seemed inordinant anyway, as I thought they were a fairly low volume company anyway. the classifieds were just full of them.

                    Reliability? Sound quality? Better...
