Having owned a KW550 for a couple of years I definately agree with this. It output more than 500 watts into 8ohms and really did give every speaker I heard an extra bit of life. Shame the ****** weighed in at over 50kg and was too expensive to keep :(

OK, so i've had my 804s for around 3 days now and the CA 540A has been on the other end. How do they sound? Well honestly, very good. I am completely thrown back at how the little Cambridge manages to drive them. Obviously im not listening at high volumes and its not the best I have heard them...

Anyone? I'd welcome any comments on the peachtree. :) Thanks!

Hey There! Whats you maximum budget?

Hi all! I managed to demo my B&W 804S' speakers with the Rotel a few days back and really liked it. However before I spend my money on the Rotel I have a few questions and for the sake of brevity I will list them... 1) Can people recommend me alternative amplifiers to the Rotel with the...

Thanks! Im actually considering getting the Rotel 1570 to drive them. I heard the pairing when I demoed them and really liked the sound and at levels I would listen to I think it is plenty powerful. I am also really tempted by the peachtree audio 220 se but no opportunity to hear that.

Thank you all for your input. Yes, as I stated - I know I WANT more power and I will get a more suitable amp in the near future. I just want to know of any potential dangers to using the CA at hyper sensible levels. Thanks Thompsonuxb, hopefully you are right! :)

Dear All, I previously asked this as part of an other question but got no answer. I am awaiting delivery on a pair of B&W 804S and will be buying a suitable amplifier in the near future. I currently have a Cambridge Audio 540a knocking about which has 50wpc. Can I use this amplifier to drive...

Hi drummerman, Thanks for your input! Yes I used to own the KW550. I would love to buy that back but I cant afford it anymore.

Dear All, I could really do with some advice. I will be buying some B&W 804S next week and having blown most of my budget on the speakers (I could not resist an immaculate pair came up!) I need something that will drive them. I have read a lot about how power hungry these speakers are which has...

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thorough and informative piece. I really appreciate it! :)

Dear All, Have any of you had a chance to compare these speakers from Tannoy. I am looking for a floorstander (so XT6 XT8 vs Precision 6.2/6.4) and was hoping to get some sort of idea of the differences. The precison range at list are far more expensive as they are from the range above in the...

Cool thanks! I'm living in Germany at the moment but there seems to be a few nice retailers near be that stock both. I'll give them a listen. I used to have th K2 and had a bad experience with both the amp and support. There are a few CA 740A on ebay at the moment that could be have for well...

Hello! Been ages since I have been on here as my hi fi (expensive) hobby took a back seat to slightly more important things like rent and food :P. Any way time has now come for me to get back into the fold and I am looking at some floorstanders/ a change from standmounters I have always had. I...

I was talking about the X1's - Never heard the L1. A lot of people who have used both comment on the X1s being superior.
