BW 800 D3 Floor Speakers
Hello,
I would greatly appreciate your advice on what monoblock amps to pair with Bowers and Wilkins 800 D3 speakers. I have gotten several different suggestions (none overlapping) so wanted to ask a larger group of people. Please don't respond just need to listen. While this is sage advice it is not feasible where I live.
I have gotten:
Classe 600
McIntosh 901
McIntosh 601
McIntosh 1.25k
Luxman 900
Rowland 735
Respectfully

drrmtaylor These B&W 800’s have a nasty load right though the bass where all the grunt is needed from 60hz to 300hz, and need amps that have big current dumping balls https://www.stereophile.com/images/511B800fig1.jpg There are minima of 3.15 ohms at 91Hz, 3.1 ohms at 620Hz, and 3.67 ohms at 21kHz. Given that there are current-hungry combinations of 4 ohms and –52° electrical phase angle at 62Hz and 5.3 ohms and –39° phase angle at 8.6kHz, I believe this speaker should be rated as a 4 ohm loadThese are the amp you need out of your list, forget the others and the set tube mentioned Classe 600 Rowland 735 Luxman 900 Cheers George |
