    B&W 804S with Classe Cap-2100

    What do you think about driving 804s with a Classe Cap-2100. I demoed this amplifier with 802d and it was amazing. It was driving 802d smoothly. By any chance any of you use this amp. , and your thought about the combo??

    Nope Conrad Johnson CA200 is driving my 804S. Looking on the web it is significantly more expensive in the US, but is actually marginally cheaper in Australia.

    I would suggest trying both as they will offer slightly different flavours.
    Mac 8gb SSD Audirvana ->Weiss INT202 firewire interface ->Naim DAC & XPS2 DR->Conrad Johnson CT5 & LP70S-> Vivid B1s. Nordost Valhalla cables & resonance management. (Still waiting for Paul Hynes PS:M)
    Siamese :evil: :twisted:

      I am wondering will this be a noticable enough upgrade?

      Would this bring the best out of my 804s?

      Hi, I recently upgrade my surround processor from Rotel RSP 1068 to Classe SSP-300, and I still use the Rotel RMB1075 to drive the B&W 804S (Front) and HTM3S (center). The sound improvement is great especially listening to 2 channel CD music. I am now thinking about upgrading the multichannel amp...
