Hay guys, I bought N800 speakers, finally, and it arrived today :T
Prior to the 800, I had N805 as mains and they have served me well for 5 years, during this period I was constantly dreaming about getting 802, so I was even happier when I got the 800s.
Going from N805 to 800 was a big jump. I would have to say I was shocked to see how big these speakers are, HUGE. Nothing prepared my wife for them, hahaha, I showed her pictures, but you can't know the size from the pictures.
Now, when getting the 800s, I knew that I would have to upgrade my system throughout. With the 805s, I used a Yamaha receiver, and Cyrus CD Player, thats it. I was happy with the system, but this just won't work with 800s.
I borrowed a Bryston 4bsst from my friend to test the speakers (the yamaha acted as the pre-amp). I can tell you that the 800 were ruthless, it showed every flaw in my system, all my components suck! The 805 was much more forgiving in that regard, they did not point out the shortcomings of the receiver and the rest. So right now I have a long way to go to make these bad boys sing!
The next upgrade would be the power amp, first choice is Classe CA-M400, I listened to classe + signature800, magical! Since then, I have been craving classe. Second choice would be Mcintosh. A pre-amp will be the second upgrade, followed by the source.
Just wanted to share the joy with you guys.
Thanks for listening
