802 diamonds with class d amp

B&W makes fine speakers, don't get me wrong. This is about the difference between a 3-dimensional and more 2-dimensional image. A nautilus top is exeptional good in indivividual focus. But less good in depth. The extra depth can make an image more 3-dimensional. Wenn you have a speaker with exeptional crossovers you can get a very deep and wide stage. Stage goes on for metres behind and even beside your speakers. Voices and instruments become a lot more loose from eachtother and palpable. You hear a big difference were an instrument or voice is recorded, even in depth.

I spent some time moving my speakers ever so slightly around my room tonight. I can tell you it made a world of difference in depth and dimension. Even with my class d amp I wanted to cry at times with the clarity and sound!

Congratulations – you discovered that the elephant in the room... is the
room :^)

I can relate. It is incredible how much relief and joy can result from a simple repositioning of speakers. I suspect though that an amplification upgrade would still produce further easily perceptible and significant improvement. Either way, happy listening!

Oh boy, we'll have to add Bo1972 to the B&W basher list. What he says here doesn't have anything to do with what the OP is asking about. Jeez!

Thanks for all of your support and advice! It is really appreciated!
