Class D amp wyred4sound and B&W 803D

the W4S and even newer Bel canto models have a very tube-like sound with great bass control and extension

i know it's taboo to call a digital amp warm, but you must really try it for yourself

Magnumpi205 and all, I have been contacted by Tommy today. Hence my cheerful gripefest has happily ended. Thank you all for your assistance. G.

I can't understand all this hype about Wyred 4 Sound. I have tested the Dac 2, quite good but nothing exceptionnal for the price.. Amps like the Wyred 4 sound SX 1000 are just boring, flat, undetailed, lacking of everything. In one word: uninteresting at all.

I have compared them to two sono amps.. Sono amps were a lot better.. If you want to know what sort of sound you can get from a Wyred 4 sound SX 1000 in comparison with a sono amp, just take a pillow and put it on your loudspeakers.

So when you speak about high-fidelity, please stop mentionning Wyred 4 sound.. Even entry level sono products make better.

Just auditioned a set of 803d's with a Linn Majik bi-amp set up (Class D 100wpc) and a Majik DS as the source. Let me tell you the sound was pure perfection. Believe it or not these Linn amps drove the B&W's quite well. Soundstaging and clarity was something to behold and bass clear and taut. I was hesitant to consider Class D but after auditioning these Linns, I'm seriously considering a W4S setup. After reading all the feedback and reviews, it would seem the logical choice. And the price point.....great value.

If I had my BC ref1000m monoblocks back when I had B&Ws, the B&Ws might still be here I suspect.

WYred + B&W should be a very good pairing.
