Not sure why you have to buy something that may require warmer cables, preamp, etc. I have not heard those speakers personally but know the guys in NJ are good people. I have not heard B&W's in a long time since my matrix days. They always seemed to have a beautiful mid-range but to me lacked high frequency refinement and openness. It has been a long time though. I don't think you can go wrong either way and then you will have to do some electronics matching for optimal sound it seems like either way. IMO WAF can be a big plus! HA! Happy Listening.
Persona 3f vs B&W 802D2s
I am in the market for new pair of floor standers, I am starting with the speakers and then will decide on how to drive them. I listen to everything from classic rock, country, easy listening, classical, musicals, opera, and jazz. The majority would be in the classic rock category.
My listening room is 14'x18' with 9' ceilings, carpet and untreated. I also have a 24'x24'x20' family room that this system may get re-purposed if the wife lets me put floor standers in there (it is a Florida home with built in cabinets so I currently have KEF R300, R center with LS50 rear and it is not enough for the room).
My speaker budget is around $10k and really like the Persona 3f (and my wife likes the look) for $10k or a demo pair of B&W 802D2s for $9k. Was just wondering how the community would compare these two speakers. Unfortunately I cannot listen to them side by side.
