B&W 801 questions

I use to sell these back in distant past. If I had a pair now I would look for some stands for them; when recording companies use them as monitors I always saw them on stands. Some companies use to make dedicated ones for them; may still.

Vdosc - I have owned 801f's. They are all pigs for power. I would not modify them at all, except as Stanwal said to get them high in the air. This will clean up the bass on these versions. In studios I have seen them placed 3-4 feet in the air and clear of all walls.
If you really want to hear what they can do borrow a really big quality amp that gives u lots of headroom - you will be surprised.
If possible give them a few feet of space on all sides the more the better. Too many people keep them close to the front wall.

Cheers

I have ordered a pair of sound anchor stands, anxiously awaiting there arrival.

Ct017, I am curious if you can describe the differences in actual sound between the 801f and the 801 S3 that you have in your system.

Thanks
