    Fabulous set up - but I guess you know that. Must be a joy to listen to.

      Very Nice

      fredBelgium,

      A very nice set up. My HT room goes in today. I also have a B&W based system: 802D's, HTM2D and N804's powered by McIntosh. Enjoy listening.

      By the way, how is watching movies in two channel?



      Briz vegas,

      I believe the name of the movie is Sunshine.

        Sweet man. I have always loved the 801's. I still remember the first time I heard them. It was at the old Hi Fi shop in Willow Groove Pa. They where on McIntosh gear and man what a pair of speakers.

        Then years later I worked for a company that did extreme high end and I started Installing them. Man heavy bastards and I'm not a fan of the crate. But the ball feet are very Impressive. You can really Dial them in.

        Good luck with them.

              Now complete it and add a turntable for some vinyl goodness.
              A camera, passport, good music, good food and good company is all I need.

                          Very nice system, I just wonder how much echo you get with the tile and bare walls!

                            Hello Wettou,

                            I have absolutely no echoes in this room. Everything has been specially designed to avoid this phenomenon.
                            The difficulty was not to make his mat and at the same time eliminate the maximum echoes.
                            The result is very convincing and allows me to listen to realistic volume without any problem.

                            A true happiness.

                            Frederic.

                                I guess I was looking at your old room this one is very nice indeed, but why go two channels rather than 5.1 or 7.1

                                    Exactly. They are impressive. I am looking forward to get them. My room is around 40m² probably they will fit very well

                                    Dmantis, good to hear your comments as a Dyn fan. I heard the 801D and they have the most airy and smooth top end from B&W. The midrange works with tweeter like if they were just one ;x(

                                      I would, instead of using a RGPC1200 and a 600, I would use a substation for your amps and a 600 for your source equipment.

                                      Plug the Substation in the wall, plug the two Classe amps into the Substation. Plug the 600 into the Substation and plug your Classe Pre-amp, DVD players, and CD player into the 600. This will work better!!!
