B&W 804d3 Speakers

[Gerronwithit]

I am running 803 D3s with my 1000 in a room that is about 6 metres by 4 metres. My concern, and especially my wife’s was that they might overwhelm the room with their size. They are without doubt noticeable but no one has complained so far. My normal (loudish) listening setting using Tidal is between -24 and -28. This will fill the same size room next door. As you go much higher (-8) you lose nothing through any form of distortion, the sound just envelops and eventually fatigues you.
