Is there anyone here with 802 Diamonds? i'd like to hear your experience with the speakers.
From moment i started this thread till now i upgraded to D250 and that upgrade from D200 gave me major impact on SQ that i get with my speakers now.
Highs started to sound really sweet (was bright) , bass more defined and full , mid OK , so in overall the sound is good but i still thought that i don't get absolute bass control.
I took for a home demo another D250 and now i have D800 ( still on loan) , the impact on SQ was not huge compared to financial side of the case
( 12900Eur) , but the impact is present and mainly in the bass area , a little more defined and less smear then with one D250.
Still im not 100% happy with the result, and don't get me wrong , the result is good, its me who trying to reach perfection here and not the B&W that cant provide.
What im trying to say is , if im not completely happy then maybe i should not upgrade to D800, stay with D250 and invest in new speakers?
or maybe invest in different AMP that will bring my B&W to the top?
Month or two ago i went with my D250 to audition Rockport Avior and i have to say that i really was disappointed with bright and lifeless speaker, maybe its the Devialet that i need to blame , i don't know.
The reviews on speakers in general are always great , no matter what . This particuler speaker got one of the best reviews, So i really don't know how such good speakers according to reviewers could sound less then perfect.
The dealer is pairing the speakers with PASS labs and he claims its sound better then with Devialet,
dealer invited me to come back later and check the speakers with PASS labs amp connected since we had no time to do it then, but i didn't had the chance to visit him again since.
Another speaker that i auditioned was Magico Q-3 , as well i came with my D250 and Aurender with all my playlists ready, files that i know well how they sound on my setup at home.
My impression of Magico's speakers with music that i know exactly how its sound at my place was good at first , bass was great, a lot resolution and pleasure, mid's were amazing but,
the speaker was bright at some tracks,
and i know that tasks and i know how it should sound at my setup and its sound good,
I think its unacceptable for speakers with price tag as Magico Q-3 to sound bright!!!
By the way one of the tracks that i relay love to "torture" speakers when i audition them is with George Michael - Feeling Good from new Symphonica album , i got it in High Res and at point that all the orchestra start to play the Feeling Good couplet its just sound bright and unpleasant on Magico's.
So....
Lately im more and more see in different threads here on forum people which are very satisfied with Wilson Audio Sasha 2 , include Guillaume
just a thought , please share what you think .
