To pricey

Hello was looking at a pair of B&W 804d or 803d but so expensive are they worth it. ????

IMHO you may want to consider upgrading the NAD amp which should give you much better sounding than going from N804 to 804D4

The only way to make any B&W that I have heard listenable for any length of time is when you pair them up with a warmer sounding Classe or McIntosh amp. I’m pretty sure that why B&W bought Classe.
