B&W 'New' 800 Series

3 dimensional sound is in the world of highend more common and not unique or special.

We always say: when you spend highend money and don't have a 3D stage you never will be taken seriously.

Right. It's getting the 4 dimensional soundstage that's the tricky part. ;-)

When you are able to create diversity in stage height the music comes to you differently.

It is my living and I am addicted to music, but I understood that for most people it is very difficult to create it.

Height speakers for Dolby Atmos/Auro 3D only will work when your amp/speakers both can create stage depth and width.

B&W is a big company, but this doesn't garantee them to create speakers who can give you a huge holographic stage.

I think they need new people and other materials and systems to create a speaker which can build a 3D stage. I also think that the D4 series will look differently than the D3 series look today. Mark my words!

"When you are able to create diversity in stage height the music comes to you differently."

I actually agree. And getting proper vibration isolation under the source components especially and hopefully under EVERYTHING will go a long way in achieving the ever expanding sphere of the recording venue, what we commonly call soundstage, including the dimension of height, do often missing in action. In fact, what's revealed eventually, after much aftermarket puttering around, is how well organized and de-interleaved everything is.

"Mark my words!" Do we have to? There are so many. Sometimes less is more...

Bo, your enthusiasm comes across as a little preachy and dogmatic. I am happy you found a formula for putting together a sound system that you like. But, it's not like you invented fire. There are many routes that lead to the destination. Your's is but one.
