B&W 803D and Pathos Classic One

I am running these with Sunfire signature 5 channel amp...system rocks

Ok, after reading all of the posts. I like to thank you for all the comments. I went with the Mcintosh MC2000 Amp and C2200 Preamp. I know is a big jump from my original intention. I am currently saving for the B&W speakers either 802D or 803D. I probably lean more to the 802D but that mean little longer waiting time to save enough $$$ for that. While I waiting for my saving to grow. What is the recommend speaker wires for my system. Also what is the recommending surge protector or conditioner do I need. I am use to be an electrician myself so surge protector is a requirement for me. As for power conditioner is not that critical because I already have dedicated line to the system.

You'd want a surge protector that would not harm the sound, so I would suggest something passive, like Shunyata Hydra for example. I own 2 Hydra2 units. Very nice sound with reduced noise floor.

As far as the wires, after trying lots of interconnects and speaker cables, I found Acoustic Zen to be a very good match with the B&Ws. I use Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun speaker cables. Awesome cables and very affordable. Interconnects I use are Acoustic Zen Siver Reference MkII from source to pre and Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference MkII from pre to amp. Just something to consider and put on your list of cablkes to try. IMO, should go with balanced interconnects if your components allow it(the amp and pre do, I beleive).
In any case, if you do go with B&Ws, make sure you get a proper speaker cable. B&Ws will not sound good with a single run speaker cables, you need a bi-wire sp cable set, prefferably a double run, such as the AZ Satori Shotgun. Check them out, they are specifically designed for a 3-way speaker, such as B&W 803D or 802D.
Best of luck. You'll have an awesome system with the McIntosh and B&Ws.

Audphile,
What do you think of PS Audio Power Plant P1000? Currently they have a very good deal on that P1000. I am planing to get one from them online or locally if the local store offer the same $1000 off from P1000. I rather support the local store.

Thanks

Rocky

The 803d works very well with the Unico integrated amp. Thats the one w/ 70watts or so.
