    Which center with 802 series 2

    Greetings,

    Recently got a pair of 802 series 2. Very sweet sound and quite pleased with them... Could anyone suggest which centre would be the best matching one? I've looked at the HTM that visually has the same tweeter and midrange, but I'm wondering if the HTM2 or HTM7 will do a better job...

      One thing you should remember though. The Matrix HTM needs a lot of juice to sound its best. The speaker terminals are made for bi-amping, and that is not only for show.. But it does sound good..

        True, but I think the 802's need much more juice. :nos:

          I have a pair of 802 Matrix Series II speakers which I bought second-hand.

          Since I have had the 802's I have noticed that the sound tends to become dull over time, lacking in emotion. I have on a couple of occasions removed the mid/tweeter pod and disconnected the connector. After gently...

          I've got an opportunity to get a set of new 2'4's and even a 2.0 center - both in the cherry finish. I also have an opportunity to get the older matrix series B&W 802's series 3, with no center but in near mint condition.

          I just today got to listen to the 2.3's since I can't find...
