B&W 8 Series Newbie


I have a set of Paradigm Studio 60s with matching centre and I'm looking forward to move up to the B&W 8 series.

I'm thinking of getting a smaller and cheaper bookshelf plus centre to start. What model would be a good starting point to start my search? I'm open to new or used but mostly used.

Thanks.

Are you already dead set on the B&W series? If so, the 805's are a great bookshelf speaker. There are many accolades about the 805. The 800's series in general are a great looking speaker that fits into any decor, and they do sound great if you have the right matched components. I drive a pair of N800's with tube amps and all I can say is wow. The B&W line is offering the C series now and are a great alternative to the 8 series for less money.

You must determine what you like and how speakers will sound with your equipment, until you do that, do some good research on specs, home demos / in shop demos, and of course if you like the looks. Good luck.
