I just read a rather negative opinion about these speakers. I do not find much in this comment. already quoted price I bought these speakers used, which give the softer prices (€ 3500 still). for the finish (rosewood) I find it perfect for me. I have to install a large room, which allows me to install a 1metre from any wall, the sound is clear, deep, spacialisation perfectly identifiable. These speakers are powered by a bi-amplification Hafler P4000 (yes I know it's a ilparait amp sound ... not stereo smiles) even drive him by a former dpl ... I also know of anything that is said of old ... but even at very low volume I end and detailed sound with powerful bass without being invasive. the volubility of the past is well contained by the rigor of the Hafler, and know the speakers sound with ca.
after having wandered with cabasse, and other proactive (it's not crap either) I am satisfied with this set. and for doing testing by specialists (the little smile at the old Hafler and disappears quickly enough to first notes ...) have done for many tapping, I think my system fairly advanced, and 804 are for much.
like any hi-fisting dissatisfied I think do better next time, but this set will remain fixed.
for fun I have two other systems. lynn a preamp and two blocks with 311 AM100 cabasse good time. a little short in serious, but fine and detailed,
and as a whole rather incoyable sansui317, + triphonic jbl212. a little temperamental but very nice even when ...
