B&W 803N/ any comments?


I currently own a pair of Thiel PCS monitors with a sub. Powered by a Krell FBP-200C, KRC-3 pre-amp.Mostly listen to jazz or classical. Any thoughts on how these speakers preform?

If you have the Thiels why not go with the CS3.6's or look for used CS6's. I found the 3.6's to sound great! The used market has them for <$2k too!! Just a thought!

Hi.

I'm the owner of a pair of N804s and can tell you that there's really not much of a difference between them and the 803Ns. Yes, there's a tad more bass in the 803s (7" woofers vs. 6.5" woofers), but not enough to justify the $1,500 price differential. If I had the dough, I'd go for the 802N, but that's a different price point from where you're at.

The 804s (retail $3,500) are fabulous speakers. The highs and mids are wonderful and the bass is tight and punchy. Unless you're a bass boomer, I think the 804s will satisfy your needs. Besides, you'll still have money left over for additional gear or more music. Think about it.
