| North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them? George at Northcreek is of the impression that upgrading the internal wires won't make that much difference. OTH, if you google the subject, specifically regarding the 801's, some believe it to be beneficial. There is not much wiring internally. W... | |
| B&W 801 matrix S2 Apoc If no one is able to answer your question here, you might try audiokarma.org. I know that there are some serious modders there that have played with the crossover components (where the APOC diodes reside) on the 801's of various series. | |
| Subtitles on the BDP-83 Press & hold the subtitle button on the Oppo remote while watching a DVD w/ subtitles. A see thru overlay screen will pop up on the TV, then use the arrow buttons to move the subtitles up or down to your liking, then press enter to lock in the... | |
| Boltz CD racks? Interesting responding to a thread where the last comment was over 7 years ago. No matter, I have both the largest CD rack & DVD rack doubled up and have never needed the wall bracket. As to why I like them, they are minimalist looking which I... | |
| OPPO BLU RAY PLAYERS Don't know about other people, but I will always strive to have an Oppo on hand. Why?I've had many DVD, BR players over the years, mid to bargain (Sony, Denon, Hitachi, Panasonic, etc.Are there better Universal players for the price and DAC wise? ... | |
| Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs Frankly, even though I can't afford such stuff, that's why I read Stereophile et al. Cheap stuff reviews can be found in mass market mags or even mags not devoted entirely to audio ( not to mention online). Hey, on the rare occasion I pick up an a... | |
| Problem with New System - Diagnosis Sought. Sounds like something is wrong somewhere. I would first try a diiferent pair of speakers. If the problem does not go away, there is something wrong w/ the speakers. The 801s should not exhibit that anamoly. The only reason the high freq on the 801... | |

| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Wemfan-Glad the purchase has worked out for you.Price you paid was good. Until you decide to get the Sound Anchor Stands (the 801S2 differs from the 801S3), I would suggest dialing in the position of the speakers first, perhaps waiting until you g... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Dave72-As stock, probably. I have not heard them in person, so cannot comment. Again, via net scuttlebutt, some people prefer the sound of the S2 tweeter, supposedly less harsh, & some infer that the S2 w/ the NC crossover is as good, if not b... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Wemfan-All I can say is that after I got the crossovers, I was satisfied. Was the difference night & day, no, more like dusk & day. If I'm not mistaken, isn't there a return option on the Northcreeks if you are not satisfied? It was like r... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Wemfan,W/out going into to much detail, in order to make the speakers more mobile, the crossovers where cramed to fit into bottom of the speakers. Because of this resulted in compromises in parts quality, inductor crosstalk, and rather small iron ... | |

| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Tls49-No offense meant. In fact, I too used to practice my electric guitar to the stereo. I found that I had to either turn the guitar amp (Fender ChampII 70W) way down or away from me, or crank up the stereo to be able to hear both. In my room of... |
