B&W 803D and Parasound

B&W 803D have rather complex phase impedance behaivor demanding use of highly powered amplifier(s) which can produce high peak voltage and peak current without too many distortions.

I am not familiar with your current Parasound power amplifiers and thus cannot comment

To make a long story short...nothing wrong with my combination of equipment or the equipment it's self, only the acoustic environment which I listen in. I cant begin to stress what can be gained by room treatments..I spent about 300.00 and the time to make the panels and my equipment now sounds more like 30K worth.

What exactly did you do with the room treatments? I am very curious.

The 800 series sound especially sweet w/ tubes.

First identify your first reflection points on your right and left walls as viewed from your seated position, for my situation these and the corners about the middle of the wall were the worst. I made bass traps about 4ft tall for the same wall the speakers are on and have two acoustic ceiling tiles in back to try to defuse rather than dampen reflections to the rear. I also hung two ceiling clouds at the reflections points above... Still working to refine things but WOW IT SOUNDS GOOD!
