Interesting thread for me. Thanks to all the contributors. I have B&W 804 mains & center + B&W 805 rears for the AV part. Also a Velodyne DD15 sub. Just added a Transporter. But running it all off a Denon 3805 AVR. For TP into the 3805 I normally run in 'pure stereo' mode. I first heard the B&W's at a specialist B&W dealer here in Beijing. At that time I was travelling monthly from the US to China. Of course the B&W's in the dealership were being driven by big amps. Rotel I think. I'll need to go back for a look. Quite an interesting shopping mall(Oriental Plaza)...bose upstairs, B&W downstairs! I bought the equipment in the US before coming out to China on assignment. The B&W's appealed not only the sound and the looks, but also being British allowed a little bit of patriotism to creep into the purchasing decision.
Although I'm pleased with what I've got, reading the postings it really looks like I need to be thinking of audio amps to drive the two front 804s. Certainly, if my memory serves me right, what I heard at the dealer, was that bit better than what I have at home. Appreciate any comments on this. Is the Denon 3805 such a weak link in this set-up?
