                  Those 50W Sony Mini Systems are underrated beasts. They really put out at least 54W.

                    I insist on a level matched double blind test 801D vs the OEM sony speakers.

                    ...and how do we know it was the 801D playing. I think there was a bose system hidden somewhere out of camera shot.

                      All joking aside, WHY are you asking? You'd probably blow up the Sony.

                          I have some matching Sony speakers I would be willing to trade (you pay shipping though) so you can have a proper setup. I know this is a generous offer on my part but I'm just trying to help.

                              It is probably a son who thought it would be funny, especially as he does not need to worry about any consequences....
                              Unless his parents find out

                                    I was just going to say that in the comments it says that the poster is awaiting amps...

                                    Great music BTW - be sure to post some more videos of the 15" 801D drivers pumping using the new amps!!! :W

                                          by Jorgitox
                                          Hi everybody!

                                          As many of you, the Matrix 801 were a dream from the very beginning, when falling into Hi-Fi clutches. Years have passed and finally I could bought a pair of 801 Series II second handed (white ones), while now I also got another pair of 801 (black ones), but in Series III....

                                          Hi,
                                          I've just come across an opportunity to pick up some 801's series II for a very reasonable sum.
                                          While earlier in my life I had more time to dedicate to pursuing my audiophile interests. All I wanted for christmas was a pair of 801's and some levinson monoblocks to go with them....

                                          Need info on the 801 S80 vs 801's N or D Series
                                          by Eve
                                          I own a pair of 801 s80's and I must admit I am extremely happy with them. My husband thinks I should upgrade my speaker because he feels that their time is over. Is the difference that big that I should consider selling my 801's?


                                          I don't really know much about B&W speakers....

                                          Many non B&W lovers really have NO idea just what a great speaker they were.
                                          I cut the Zobel capacitor in mine, and relocated a couple crossover inductors.
                                          I have the B&W "Van Alstine mod sheet" for the Matrix 801 series 2's if anyone needs it ?
