    bi-amp 800d

    ? moving to a bigger room 30ft by 20ft, in a medium room vtl s-400 does a great job driving these monsters, does anyone have experience bi-amping [passive] with solid state for low frequencies and tubes for medium/hi, guess you need to match up the voltage gain and experiment???

    In my experience bi amping is only successful with identical or closely matching amplifiers ... Thing like gain need to be idential. Anything mismatched will sound worse that single amped.

      800D and more bass - biamp or add sub ?
      by radim
      Hello.
      I've got B&W 800D with classe monoblocks cam-400 and listen 2-channel musik only.
      I really enjoy this system, but I would like do some improve in the lowest bass area - the last octave, so from 50Hz down.
      Oh, I like bass response, for example jazz contrabass, I must...

      Biamp Wire Configuration
      by GSamF
      I am considering purchasing a second Rotel 1095 unit to biamp two 1095 units (2x 200w x 5) which would allow me to biamp my center and two fronts (six channels) and then use a single channel for surrounds and rears. I was thinking of upgrading the fronts by adding a 2 channel amp while now getting...

      800D Employs Superior Crossovers
      by RebelMan
      Well folks the debate about the crossovers used in the D models of B&W’s newest 800 Series speakers rages on with renewed life. Thanks to the photo Race Car Driver dug up in another thread showing the crossover network in the base of the 802D plinth proves different crossover components are used...

      by DrJRapp
      I'm having thoughts about upgrading my system and want some advice on which direction to proceed. Currently I have a RMB1075 driving the fronts center and side surrounds of a 7.1 system with a RB1050 driving the rears. I have contemplated two different possibilities. The first is to change the 1050...

      800D and VLT but what about HT?
      by MikeS
      I was really into audio gear in the 1970s (yes, I'm old) and was able to try many tube components of the era from Marantz, Mac, early ARC and more. My last set-up was a Marantz 8B amp (fantastic highs), Mac C22 pre-amp (good highs, mediocre bass) with 15" JBL woofers, Altec drivers/horns and ElectroVoice...
