@ghdprentice Don’t let these speakers fool you. They still have a phenomenal soundstage, Bass , impact , dynamics , imaging. And will still beat many many speakers of today. U would have to pay about 6x the cost of these used to beat them. If u haven’t already seen this utube video of these. I would check it out. Utube. B&W Matrix 800. Title. A B&W speaker you have never heard about. The Matrix 800. Mikes room. By Thomas and stereo.
Weakest link in my system
Just as the title states. What would you say the weakest link in my system is. System includes. B&W Matrix 800 speakers. Audio Research Ref 750s mono amps. Audio Research Ref 6 SE pre amp. Audio Research Ref 9 cdp. McIntosh MQ 112 equalizer. Straight Wire Crescendo speaker cables tri wired. Straight wire Crescendo XLR Interconnects.

@mahgister Yes my room isn’t the best but it is my dedicated listening room. Still sounds very good though. Oh and my listening position is 12 ft from my speakers slightly toed in

@steakster I am running 4 dedicated lines. 2 I believe are 30 amp lines for my two amps and 2 20 amp line for my preamp and CDP. I don’t believe I will benefit from a power conditioner. It might even degrade the sound with my components. JMO. |
I didn't see, or see any comments about, room treatment. My recommendation would be to place some panels at the first reflection points on the walls and ceiling if you haven't done that yet. I recently treated my room. It was inexpensive and yielded results far beyond the cost. I thought it wasn't necessary, or wouldn't matter much, and I was wrong. The treatments transformed the sound in a very positive way. Nice system!!!
