    800 Diamond plinth size vs actual speaker size

    I was wondering how much larger is the plinth of the 800 Diamonds then the actual speaker, sides, front and back? The website only gives a single set of dimensions so I'm assuming those are for the speaker itself, not including the plinth.

    Thanks

    ??? The plinth is 15.75" wide by 25.5" deep.

    Edit: I measured 17.75 x 25.5, same as factory spec but sloppier. :W

      Thanks Kal, that's what I wanted to know, I guess I worded it poorly. So that's interesting, the website has the speakers at 17.7" wide and 25.4" deep so the plinth is basically the same length/depth but slightly narrower. Interesting, looking at pictures the plinth always looked to be both wider and deeper than the speaker to me.

        It is wider and deeper, but not much... Its not as pretty as the 802, but sounds better

          Go to 800D2 Series and use the PDF drawing, it has all the dimensions.

            Those are the same but my measurement was casual and less precise. The actual speaker enclosure is somewhat smaller.

                    B&W 683 Plinth / spikes question
                    by jack667
                    Not sure how many of you have experience with the 683, but I was wondering why B&W advise attaching the plinth and spikes yet in the photo below (and every promotional photo I have seen) they decided to not show the plinth.



                    Obviously, I understand this is more than...

                    Hi !
                    I have few ideas on tuning my speaker setup. I would like to get your opinion on them. Do you think it makes sense? Do you think it may help or not? If some ideas seem to be good for you but there is something you would like to add? This kind of feedback I'm counting on.

                    B&W 683 plinth findings
                    by BWLover
                    OK, so you can see my system via my signature below. My system is in a carpeted basement. I've been playing a lot with my speaker placement. I had them on the spikes with no plinth, then with nothing at all, then with the plinth on w/spikes. What i noticed is that going from no spikes and the speakers...

                    Wow, I was pretty impressed with this one. Not an Integra product, but Onkyo seems to be putting out a good one with this release:

                    by doubleTrouble
                    Gentlemen, I managed to burn 2 front channels on my Harman Kardon AVR-255 receiver. The woofers of the speakers are burnt as well.
                    I found the scheme, but don't really understand a lot.
                    I replaced the Q658 and Q652 just to find out that it did not fix the problem. I checked those transistors...
