B&W 802D Series 1

[admin_exported]

is there a differance between 802D Series 1 and the 802 diamond nautilus or are they the same speaker?

from the images i can find they look exactly the same.

Also would a Cyrus 6xp be a good enough amp to drive them?

thanks

It'll drive them but not very well IMO

They're big speakers and need a fair whack to drive them

A Cyrus 8XP with a rack of Mono's would do the job

A Cyrus 8XP with a rack of Mono's is something im going to have to work towards, at the mo im stuck with the 6xp.

i presume the 802D series 1 and the 802 diamond nautilus are 2 different speakers that look identical ? how much would i be looking to pay for a pair of 802D series 1 any ideas?

thanks

Hi Carve

The 6XP can be used with the 802's however you'll have to keep the volume in check!

Hi hifilover1979

Not really.

Amplification such as the quality of the Plinius SA103, SB301, SA Reference, Chord Electronics SPM 1200E, SPM 4000, SPM 1400E, SPM 6000, Krell's Evolution 402e, Evolution 600e and Gryphon's Antileon Stereo are the levels of amplifiers which will do the job far more effectively with the 802's.

All the best
