Hi all,
I have recently purchased a pair of 804n speakers, this was an impulse buy and one that was done with admittedly very limited knowledge (heart over head).
I have been a longtime fan of b&w, more so of the design side of things over the sound (I know) as I haven’t listened to many, apart from briefly owning the DM range (604/602/cc6 s1) in a 5.1 set up many years ago, again with limited knowledge at the time.
After doing some research I have come to the conclusion these speakers require some heavy duty power and would probably suit a stereo power set up best, however, for now I am set on running a AV Receiver as I am already in the dog house for coming home with said speakers haha.
what would people recommend?
The reason for wanting to start with a AV Receiver is so I can add to it the future going for a 5.1 set up and using it as a pre amp.
the set up will be used to watch films, play games but mostly listen to music.
I do feel I have bitten off more than I can chew to start with but I’m wanting to keep these speakers for along as they just look stunning and while being given a demo I had a huge grin
at the same time I want to give them a good amount of power even if they will not but running at full potential.
the way I see it is, I can enjoy them now and in the future once I upgrade the amp it will be like buying new speakers.
hopefully I’ve made myself clear. Am I very new to this. I’ll also need recommendation for speaker cables
