Difference in B&W sound

Sbbrownnw, You must be an audio genius, I think exactly the same as you on Kevlar.But not being as smart as you cost me lots of cash trying to fix the problem before it dawned on me .

Danmar123 -Then I asked my Twins to come & take a listen.

Aha..I knew I had a gut sense of a common element here.
You have two channel in your blood. :^)
You have been listening to the best natural stereo, but also the most challenging to setup, no ?
Our fraternal twins have been chiseling away at us for 20 years. My music panic room was built out shortly after they were born. Hearing those cries in stereo..I can still hear them. 8^0
Ours are just now starting to ask questions and getting curious about what is downstairs. I am starting to fear for my turntable, preamp, and records. Everything else is easily replaced.

Am holding onto the white B&W Electrostatic Speakers for my daughter. The bad boy 801's for my son.

Cheers

Ct, I always admired the B&W Electrostatic Speakers, ever since I bought my Heresy Back in the 70s. Have you looked @ the new Emotive XMC-1? I'm looking to upgrade my Pioneer, just waiting for Emo to get everything in order. Anyone else have any suggestions? AMB

@Schubert, I don't know what to say? They just don't sound right to me. I grew up listening to my dad's tube pilot gear with large warfdale speakers and like the warm sound with punchy but not forward midrange.

Ct - ......Have you looked @ the new Emotive XMC-1

AMB - I am strictly two channel in my two rooms. I had an elaborate HT setup many years ago. My wife upon hearing the first helicopter land and shake the house main floor said, "that's enough of that"

So my fate was sealed. The Denon AVR 4800 from those days is still in the house, somewhere.

Some action here for the XMC-1 at AudioGon if you do a search. A quick google search shows many dedicated forums for the brand. So I see its very popular with quite the following. Let us know how you make out.
