one last question- Keep hearing that the b&w speakers
are hard to drive. What exactly does that mean ?
@geosims1 The Stereophile review of the 804 d4 states that although the nominal impedance is 8ohm, the minimum impedance is 3ohm, so you’d you’d probably want to drive them with an amp that is 4ohm rated with a fair bit of current on tap, i.e. comes near to doubling it’s output when the impedance of the load is halved. |
Might change weekly what my favorite system is but currently street MSRP would be 12k. I have under 2k into it. Love it! All great condition and could make money on it any day. I’ve never bought a piece Ive had a big issue with. Speakers are especially an easy recommend as long as the cabinets are not all beat up.
I would go for the 802s. |
I have been fortunate with my used equipment purchases, especially here on A-gon where I found a power amp and blueray player in great shape for reasonable $$$. In the past I always bought new and came around slowly to the idea of used gear.
