B&W 802 Nautilus speakers

I would not look to the speakers as the problem.  Make sure your wires have a solid connection with no strands of copper unconnected. Then I would be suspicious of the new amp. 

The reason I called B&W on Friday was that I saw in the picture that the aluminum dome on speaker was pushed in and called The Hi-Fi dealer and owner of the speakers and they said it did not affect sound whatsoever but I knew this wasn’t true so to verify it I call B&W speaker company and they told me yes it would affect the sound and I would need to replace it as soon as possible if I bought the set of speakers to get full range in that speaker set.
 Saturday was when I   Went to audition the speakers and they would cut in and out with the music and come back on and then go back out .  Husband and his wife would say oh wow they're out again and then they would say hold on they are  back on  again .  I looked at the wires they looked fine so it must be something in the speakers. I noticed the guy really like To crank them very loud I just wonder if they've been abused.  It was so loud that the music sounded terrible and my ears hurt .  I play my gear just  loud  enough to have a nice sound stage three dimensional but not ear piercing .

Pass.

Pass

I  let the store know what happen Saturday when I went to the owners home that the B&W speakers stop playing and would come back on again and stop again and so on. they said they would check  it out. I hope they do because they are still up for sale I see. . I hope somebody does not get took and buy them.
