B&W 802 Diamond with SAM ?
#9
Thanks guys for the insightful answers, I notice a wide variety of experiences which in our hobby is only to be expected.
At the moment I have the baby Mbl 121 . Superb transparency but I'd like some more heft for big symphonic works. Hence my interest in full range speakers. I heard the 802 Diamoonds at a local dealer with Bryson amps and they were very good but I could still detect the source speakers unlike the Mbl which create audio images far beyond the speakers.

I thought the devialet 400 would really help the 802 to shine indeed I was hoping that with SAM the 802 could rival the mighty 800 Smile
I'm using an Auralic Aries which is better than my Mac mini with Amarra for consistent problem free usage and probably sonically also. I also have vinyl which is wonderful.

I wondering @moreno1973, what full range speakers you might recommend with devialet?
I think I'll Ask the dealer if I canbring the Dev 400 to the dealership to try with the 802 Diamonds.
I'm also open to other suggestions re new speakers. I want a rich full sound.
Thanks
