B&W 802 Diamond and Aragon Palladium 1K

[ATellis]

I was wondering what others think of the above combination: I have the Palladium monoblocks and wanted to get the B&W 802 Diamonds or the 802Ds. Would this be an appropriate match? I listen mainly to classical music. Thanks, ashley

Ashley,

The monoblocks certainly appear to deliver the power the 802's would need. I have the 802D's and drive them with the McIntosh MC402 (400 wpc). That level of power is very good for the 802's. The 802D's perform very well. Excellent bass and awesome soundstage, along with pristine detail, with air around the instruments.

So the 1K's should be quite nice.



Hope this helps.

Many, many thanks! Ashley
