Enough Power?
« on: 16 Jan 2006, 11:15 am »
I am upgrading from B&W 802s at the front of my 5.1 system to B&W 800Ds.

They are currently powered with two Bryston 7B SST.

Has anyone any experience of the 800Ds with the 7B SST?

Will there be enough Oooomph for the 800Ds?

Dear Caleb,

I absolutely think so! Myself I drive a pair of B&W Matrix-800's with two 7BSST monoblock's. Before I tried all kind of amplifers with this system, even bi-amped. Nothing sounded so effortless and open as with the 7BSST.

The matrix-800 is a complex system with 4 12" woofers and difficult to drive. The bryston 7BSST's are the best match ever! But I gonna upgrade to the new 28BSST monoblock's for sure. You might consider that to ;)

For the record, this is the Matrix-800 system ;)



Best regards,
Bas
