Wilson Yvette with D400

B&W's 800D3 series have a very forward sound.  #37   To my ears the sound of Wilson's Yvette (and Sabrina) are more natural. But here are many satisfied owners of 800d3 series speakers on this forum. So it is really a matter of taste.

You could buy Yvettes and try with and without subs and decide wether you want to keep the subs. Judged by the frequency responses of 802D3 and Yvette I would not expect a big difference in bass performance.

I guess D400 is (more than) adequate to drive Yvettes. All I can say is Sabrinas perform very well with D220.
