B&W VS Dynaudio .........

I've grown bored with the sound of my B&W n803's and was considering replacing them with with Dynaudio contour 3.3's. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the 3.3's would mate well with my other components.

Marantz SA14
KRELL KCT
KAV 250a (I intend to replace this with 250mc's and run cast)
Transparent Reference interconnects & Synergistic Research resolution Reference speaker cables.

I am open to suggestions regarding equipment if someone cares to enlighten me.

Thanks in advance,

Damon

First of all the answer to you question is: Yes

I would also wait until you can upgrade to either the 350Mc or the new 450Mcx. The sound quality will be MUCH better.

Regarding speakers, although the Dynaudio's are excellent speakers, if you really want to be dazzled, there are two pairs of B&W800's (not "N")for sale on this site at a great price. They will blow away both speakers mentioned here, and all or most other speakers.

Can you explain why you are bored with the B&W's? That might help others make suggestions. I have found the 803 to be a wonderful speaker, especially when driven by Mark Levinson products. Have you thought of keeping the speakers and trying different amplifiers?

S7horton,

I've owned a couple different pairs of B&W's over the last few years and have been relatively pleased with them in various applications. However, the B&W's tend to have thier own sonic signature (as is true with most components)and it is that in which no longer appeals to me like it used to.

Regards,

Damon

Hey 2001impala,

I've heard that the Dyn' 3.0's sound a little better overall than the 3.3's. Just my .02.......John
