Name this wonderful system

 

 

Just took a listen to system on YT now. My oh my, this one is quite special. For bookshelf speakers the results are even more impressive given their size. The creator of the video on YT did not provide any details on the system specifics. 

From looking at the snapshot of the pic taken from YT, what do you all reckon are the speakers , the preamp/amp and DAC/streamer?

I have reached out to the person who uploaded the video for info, however they seem pretty close lipped and mentioned they have many systems so hard to know for certain.

I don’t listen to music on YouTube, but the system is B&W N805s with Accuphase electronics.

I suspect that audio is being generated by pictured system. If you pay close attention to the picture, it’s virtually ‘staged’. As far as system goes, the speakers are B&W 805 and electronics appears to be Accuphase Integrated and CD player.

I guessed the same myself vis a vis the speakers. Although, if one looks carefully at the speaker design, leaving out the trademark B&W tweeter horn, there is a more squarish look overall compared to the rounded edges of the 805. Probably some photo editing going on. Accuphase looks about right for the amp/cd player, even with the Luxman like first impressions.

Regardless, 2/2 for the 805’s is not a bad return. Suffice to say the 805 is joining the ME1 and YG Tor on my shortlist of bookshelf speakers for the near future.

much thanks for the input soix and Lalitk
