I still have a pair of the original 804's purchased back at the end of 2002. They still sound quite good, and they are now a part of my Son's system. Like all 3-way loudspeakers, they require optimal placement. With the refinements in the D4 model, they should be fantastic. In my setup, I never required much toe-in. You may have to experiment with moving them away from the back and side walls. I have moved on to a smaller home and a 2-way stand mount loudspeaker from Wilson Benesch. They are matched the W-B Torus system. Don't give up on the 804 D4's. I might suggest a different tube preamplifier. Have a look at the Quicksilver Audio Line Stage offering: https://quicksilveraudio.com/products/line-stage-preamp/ Happy listening |
Get the Mofi Sourcepoint 888... Erin’s Audio Corner - Mofi 888 Review When you realize what the tonally imbalanced, mid starved, fake detail B&W robbed from you all these years, sell it to a member of some B&W admirers club and get some money back. |
believe it or not your speakers will be hard to beat in your budget. maybe add subwoofers like RELT9x which pair nicely. your b&ws sound better than most speakers under 10k. something new will sound different but not better. try aiming your speakers straight out from the wall, about 3 feet from the wall and wider apart than the distance from your chair. |
