Review 1 of 2

Summary:
I picked these loudspeakers up because the used price was
right. They retailed for 2500.00. After listening to these
awesome babies I can honestly say im very, very impressed
with these loudspeakers. Ive have Infinity RSB-1's. Acoustat 2 hybrid electrostatics. My roomie has Infinity Beta's, and a complete home theater with Meridian processor.
We know what good sound is in this house! Im so impressed
with these 802's that I can say there not leaving this house, and becoming my main speakers of choice. I have heard things in the music, I have never noticed with any loudspeaker, and I have owned more different types, and brands then the normal audiophile. I trade and swap, and sell constantly. These 802's however will remain in my collection permantly. I would highly recomend a high end sub with these. Bass extension below 50hz falls quickly.
You cant do wrong by purchasing any B&W loudspeaker.
They win awards yearly throughout there product line.
Also, B&W's are used in over 80% of all classical music
recording studios, and used in the final mix. They are
also used in many of the worlds top recording studios
for final mix because of there extreme accuracy.

Strengths:
Midrange Clarity, Soundstage is wide, very detailed.
Huge power handling with no break up. Articulation is incredible. Tight, quick, and punchy low end. Well protected against any damage to loudspeakers at high continuous output. Very detailed, and full even at very low
output.

Weaknesses:
Quick roll off of below 50hz.
Otherwise, none

Similar Products Used:
Ive owned many, many brands of high end loudspeakers.

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
