slawrence436 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Really good price . A bonus with the stands... are they the original ones?Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardoz Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Every time I see a pair of these come up for sale, I get a little tempted to trade up from my 805S's.... but it's a huge dollar step up, too., and B&W haven't got an equiv. HTM4S to upgrade to to retain tonal matching Where in Melbourne? I haven't heard the D3's yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exSG Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Quite a surprise to me that you are selling it. I have the 805s and this has a lot more resolution plus more. Glwts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glwts I am scratching my head too, but i have the 800 hence i decided to have something different for my 2nd system. I could be end up disappointed with where I am going.

Zardoz Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 2 hours ago, audio_file said: I'm more keen on those.. Well, that might ease the pain a little! I'm sure that if I were to listen to these bad boys, I'd probably take them away in my loving hands straight away, but then I'm left with the problem of finding a tonally matched centre channel and I'm hard pressed to find the closest match (HTM2D3) secondhand, so I'd be tempted to keep the 805S's on hand... Are these available for an audition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brain Amp Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 How does it compare against Dynaudio C1? which one is easier to drive? Looks that they are at the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
