To bi-amp B&W 802n or not

@lalitk

Sorry but I don’t understand how you can bi-amp with McIntosh 601’s mono,
Mono is for one speaker and if you want to bi-amp speakers you need 2 mono’s for each speaker total of 4 mono’s for a pair of speakers ?

@itzhak1969,

I used 601 mono’s for Low Frequencies and stereo VT-80 for mid’s and high’s. 

The main problem with B&W speakers is that they are very inefficient and need a lot of power to perform at its best I really dont understand why they design their speakers that way ,for me it’s a big NO for this brand.

@itzhak1969,

Not all B&W speakers require lots of power. I’ve owned their 6, 7 and 8 series speakers over the years. You should do your research before generalizing a brand that makes a wide range of speakers.

Big speakers usually performs better when they are fed with decent power. The 800 being their flagship speakers ‘designed’ to be driven by a high output amp. You don’t feel the need for a sub with 800’s, plenty of low bass with fabulous mid’s and high’s from a pair of speakers once they are setup properly :-)
