As much as I prefer the B&W Diamond series to earlier ones,my gut instinct is that the WP is capable of more and has less of a finger-print on the sound.The WP does prefer a slightly warmer balanced amplifier,thus my recs for the VAC Ren series.This amp also has variable feedback and allows the end-user to adjust the bass control (warmer/fuller VS taut/well damped).
B&W D800 D802 VS. W/P 8
Anyone that has actually have listened to both of these?
Talking nearfield listening, set up in medium sized to small rooms. Near wall and free space need?, requirements in terms of amplification?
What i'm trying to avoid is problems with room acoustics as far as possible. (some loudspeakers are less sensitive by design)
Dipole is ofcourse easiest to work with, followed by transmission line.
Also hate the obvious issues with energi storage in terms of disrupting the sound.
Preferences in music, is multilayered, progressive and quite brutal dynamical outbursts.
I have a weakness for electronica and crossover.
