      The 1582 is the successor of the RB-991 and RB-1080 and was always a fine match with the 80x series. The 804 and 1080 was a good match, for the 803 and 802 the 1092 was a better match.

      Unfortunately the B&W 8 series are rather power hungry and only really shine when played at a reasonable level. So a need a reasonable sized room ( more than 50m2) to get the best out of the 804.

          You won't have an issue with that combo. The RB-1582 is plenty of power for the 804S.

              They will change the most in the first 10 - 20 hours. After that they will settle in and really come into their own around 100 hours or so. Let us know how things are going once you get the system up and running.

Anyway , the system in full will be set up around 29 January !!!! i will post the results and Pic's . Cheers Brock.
