B&W 804: Is B&W a speaker for pop/rock?

I use Nautilus 804's and surprisingly,, they are excellent for rock, great volume and clarity. I however use a Linar 250 amp which has substantial boost to say the least. They stay tight at deafening levels. So much so that i can feel the air from the ports huffin at me at 9 feet away from the speaker.

Answer? yes,, they rock ;-) have fun!

Try with a Krell amp if you can and then decide. If they can't rock with Krell then you won't be happy.

If you get the 804N's, make sure you buy the Sound Anchor stands for them. It is well worth it, in my opinion; and I listen to Rock. Best, Charlie

I have a friend who has N803s and they use all the power you can throw at them. We have listened to them with a Mark Levinson 383, Plinius SA100 MKIII and BAT VK 200 and had just enough power with any of these fine amps.

I presume the N804s are about the same effeciency as the N803s.

If you have a quality amp with 150 watts I think you will find it is just enough power to rock pretty good but you may find you want more. BTW my friends room is about 25 x 25 with a vaulted ceiling so you may do better with a smaller room.
