Congrats Baranowski! I do love my 804S, but didn't want to appear pushy.

With all due respect, I disagree with Shakedown. Rotels go very well with some B&W, but to my ears not with 804S. You can dig my posts from the past here where I went into more detail than my post here above.

McIntosh, Classe, Levinson, Rowland are generally well received with B&W 800-series. I tried Classe, McIntosh SS & tubes, and preferred tubes. Also, speaker cables make a difference...lot's of different ways to spend more money!!

Enjoy your speakers, get to know them and don't rush.

Congrats again!
doing home theater with these.... i am posting for suggestions in the home theater forum.... check it out and give me your ideas..... thanks
I too agree with Lewinskih, but with caution and additional expense. As my suggestion was purely introductary to the new purchase of your speakers and would be pleasant for home theater use as well as music. As mentioned above in my post...the more $$$$ the better the sound...My suggestions of amp, processor and cables would be in the $3,000 range out the door, while the suggestions of Lewinskih would start at $3,000 used and would be more geared towards the musical side of the spectrum and less for home theater use.

But these are your decisions to make on the path of your enjoyement and as Lewiinskhi said...enjoy your speakers and get to know them...your ears will be delighted from here on out...Congrats again
what ya think.... cd1 for rears or 703's?..... would i get really any benefit from floor sanders for rear surround?????
well...you are asking at a 2-channel forum...so my take is no, you won't. Save that money and spend it on better amp for the L&R. Surprise!!
