I heard the N802s at Stereo exchange with Brystons driving them,and they sound great.I have the 802 IIIs,If I can afford it I would upgrade to the 802N but I'm very happy with the 802IIIs,and they sound great with tubes on top and S.S.on the bottoms.I currently have the C.J.MOSFET 200 w.p.c power amp on them full range.I would agree that the 802 matrix III lean toward the bright side but I like it like that.CHEERS.
B W 802 Matrix III: Bright shrieky?
I have a friend who recently purchased B&W 802 Nautilus spkrs. After break-in, I must say I am impressed with the sound, & they are not BRIGHT, as I expected them to be. He tends to like more upfront & brighter sound than I do, so when he told me that the 802 Matrix III's he had before these (I hadn't heard these), WERE quite bright. He also says they don't hold a CANDLE to the Nautilus 802s.
I like the Nautilus, but don't want to spend that kind of money. I am wondering if B&W ophiles have any opinions on these two speakers. Would used 802 III's sound anything like his Nautilus? Or would I be disappointed---
