B+W 801D


Well, I have been through a few speakers since I last posted here. I have never been able to hear the 801D and am looking for opinions from people who have actually heard this speaker.
Any and all input appreciated.

I use to sell the early 801s and they were good then. The new ones are even better.
I had them...fuzzy mids and lows, poor soundstage. I had to replace the tweeters a few times.

You stated "I had them...fuzzy mids and lows, poor soundstage. I had to replace the tweeters a few times."
In one thread you said you owned the 802D and didn't like them. Now you say you owned the 801D also and basically kick the crap out of it. In yet another thread you state " I have never been a fan of B+W"..
Quit the bullshit already!!! I want to hear from objective listeners not people with an axe to grind.
What would you like to know? B&W is a serious constructor...
Here are some quick pointers.
You must like the house sound, or keep away.
Very good job of mating the (hard ceramic) tweet with the next in line driver (as is NOT the case in other "ceramic spkrs");
OK sound, at its level, UNLESS you use a very powerful amp, in which case it is good sound indeed with surprising dynamics (through an FM acoustics).
Of course, the FR is covered as is to be expected, down to upper bass.
Very slightly metallic sound if the amplification is inadequate or too "sharp" sounding (example, through some large, supposedly class A, "Vincent" monos).
Not as easy to set up in the room (as say 802, etc), because of the large woof...

Am I being helpful:)?

Regards
p.s. the fuzzy sound & blown tweet described above are an accurate description of amplifier distortion aka as "clipping".
