Just confused about where to start
Good luck on getting the M7's, but keep in mind they will need a substantial amp. I saw where the impedance drops below 4 ohms, so that, the 87 db sensitivity, and manufacturer recommending a minimum of 100 watts means they will need serious power. I would be looking for a high current 200 watt amp that is stable at 4 ohms. You mentioned that the B&W's that impressed you were being driven by a McIntosh amp. Do you remember the amp driving the lesser expensive B&W's that didn't impress? |
@tls49 the salesman used the same amp and simply swapped out the speakers for me. The amp was McIntosh’s brand new hybrid model https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/integrated-amplifiers/MA252 Very nice tubey sound with the amp, and quite synergistic with the 705 S2's. I took a listen to a track I knew well and decided the B&W 707 S2’s weren’t for me. The 705 S2’s however, were excellent. Imaged very well and had a very spacious sound. Detail was good too. Shame about the $2500 price tag... |
