They haven't found their final home at home yet, so for now the B&W Matrix 802 Series 2 will serve up some tunes in the dungeon while I clean up down there and figure out if it's worth investing in having a partially finished basement.
I'm calling shenanigans on the claims by others that the Matrix 802 S2 is lacking in low end output. - Maybe they just mate better with these itty bitty palladium amplifiers.
Seems that folks with lots of cash have taken to dumping an additional 2K+ into some whiz bang crossovers that are suppose to make you feel like you've died and gone to heaven. That's one of the benefits of not being wealthy, it Means my listening will make me feel like I'm firmly planted here on earth. - Hell , maybe I'm just being super eco conscious and by not letting go of any additional GREEN. besides, I'm quite satisfied with what the engineers at B&W came up with.
Can't wait to do a bit of A/B listening with the 802's vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home. anyone else hanging on to these relics which have been upstaged by the uber cool 802 Diamond? I mean sure, Diamonds are forever, but there's nothing wrong with living in the Matrix.
