| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... @shadorne ... that's exactly what I intend to do for now. I just want a little "oomph" in the bottom end, that's all. I really like the sound of the N804s. The 804d3s are no slouches, trust me, and they are a bit of a different flavor; however, to... | |
| Not seeing the sound Yep, lowrider. You nailed it. | |
| Not seeing the sound The sound is quite 3D now. There's width, height and depth, if that makes any sense. Truly, a remarkable thing to experience in my own listening room. | |
| What to do with audio Magazines I usually keep the Buyer's Guide issues throughout the year for reference purposes. Otherwise, I toss 'em after I've finished reading them. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... Will do. It should arrive early next week. | |
| Not seeing the sound Yes, the musicians are positioned in the correct places, and vocals come out dead center. So, I don't think the speakers are out of phase. I believe I may have found an audiophile unicorn. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... Given that the B&Ws have aluminum tweeters, I wanted to compensate for that by a different type of material. Hopefully, it will be fine. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... Yep. Ordered a Rhythmik L12, which is a sealed unit. Hope it does the trick. | |
| Upgrade my MD 102 Tuner? The tuner only has inputs for a 75Ohm antenna, there are no 300 Ohm antenna terminals. I'm using a standard 75Ohm dipole "T" antenna. If you have any specific suggestion for antennae that will work well with this unit, I'm all ears. Thanks. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... @wlutke ... Thanks for the suggestion. I’m kind of stuck in this converted bedroom as all other available space is taken up. So, I will try the sub since the lowest FR of the N804s is 45Hz +/- 2dB, which is a bit lean even when compared to some mo... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... Given the size of my room, 9x10x8, the 800N or 802D2 are way too big for the space. In the current line-up, I would have to look at either the 804 or 805. | |
| Upgrade my MD 102 Tuner? I can't use an outdoor antenna. A powered antenna doesn't work too well, either. So, it's just a standard, 75 ohm indoor antenna. The unit does not have the XM radio feature ... quite frankly, I wish there were some kind of module I could hook up ... | |
| A recent thread about speaker/floor isolation I'm a big fan of "floating" the speakers. I had Eden Sound make me two Terrastone plinths for my B&Ws. The sound is far superior to coupling with spikes. | |
| Coupling or Decoupling speakers? I had Eden Sound make some Terrastone plinths to put under my B&Ws. "Floating" the speaker achieves much better sound than the spikes, IMHO. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... @ mb1audio ... My speakers used to be set up in dining room/living room combination in my old condo. It was the same issue back then ... I think the fact that the N804s lowest frequency response is 42 -45 Hz is the problem for me. While the bass i... |
