    Has anyone compared the Eggleston Andra II to B&W's

    Has anone compared the Eggleston Works Andra II's (or I's for that matter) to B&W's 800 series?

    I have N801's that I am extremely happy with, but you know how it goes. Please, no "don't do it" responses unless you have experience with teh Andra's or similar speaker (WATT/Puppy, Revel Saloon, JM Lab, etc).

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I have only experienced this system and the higher 800 series in shop demos.



    To be honest I am happy with my modest 804s. That choice is influenced by financial constraints - but on the other hand the differences at this level start to diminish. There are a couple of systems in my systems price bracket that I prefer over this particular WP7 system, good as it is.

    This is very much a matter of personal taste and is largely based to the beautiful job that has been done tuning the systems that I prefer. I think if you are still asking about speaker A vs speaker B you will only get great system synergy out of luck rather than good managment.

    Yeah the WP7s sounded great, but if I had money to burn I would look into them further only after more careful consideration of the 802D 800D as I like the looks and enjoy the B&W sound.

      New Full Range Three Way Project - longish post
      by ChrisGraeff
      Over the past few years I have auditioned a number of speakers spanning the universe of prices. One of my favorites was the Eggleston Andra - version one. While not the most uncolored speaker I've heard it's performance from 1000 hz down was excellent. The Dynaudio 30W driver handled the lowest frequencies...

      My two modest systems
      by oldbob
      I have moved and so these pictures are not from the present locations of my systems. Also, in the bigger system there is now a TV making it a HT and not just a 2 channel system. The other one is residing on my enclosed back porch. I like to sit out there in the evening and use the headphones so my wife...

      Micro Speaker Systems
      by SiliGoose
      I have a friend looking for a micro speaker system. I'd call it a sub/sat system but in his case, he already has a sub. He just needs the 5 sats.

      I've recommended the Energy Take 5 or the Mirage AVS (which are pretty much the same speaker systems). I know Klipsch, Polk, Infinity and Paradigm...

      Sharing a sub between 2 systems
      by John G
      I thought this might be of interest to some. My A/V system and 2 channel system share the same large open basement. Yesterday I did some experimenting with the A/V sub in my 2 channel system and find myself getting good results sharing the same sub between both systems.

      The 2 channel...

      Rotel and Emotiva - compared
      by SkyDover
      I've been a big fan of Rotel products. I have a Rotel RC-1090 and RB-1090 for home. I also had a RB-1092 and RC-1090 that I purchased for my office at work to listen to when working later hours, to give me something to listen to. During a period of time we were relocating our office in another location,...
