B&W DM3000, a hidden gem ?

[michel1873]

Hello,
I am new on this forum, but I am a B&W collector for a long time. I found a pair of DM3000, a model that I didn't know. One tweeter and one mid-bass are not well, I will have them repaired. Despite these, the sound is great, it reminds me old 801 and 802's. I looked at the diagram, and was wondering if this could be simplified, e.g. removing the Time Delay which is complex, and perhaps replaced certain caps. Does anyone have experience with these speakers and xover mods ? What would be a good amp for these ? A rotel or NAD power amp ? Are the DM3000 a hidden gem ?
Many thanks.
Michel

I had a pair of those and found the crossover assembly like the DM 2000(I had that to for many years a VERY good speaker) slides out of the bottom on a "drawer" like arrangement
Tested out the crossover and found no issues period and as you know they are mid to later 80's
I wouldn't touch a thing other than fix drivers ............. they r classics and great sound

We contracted a businessman and a businessman and a businessman with a purchase from 150 €. you did not take too much risk I think
