Description

I think my system is doing pretty good for now. However, I'd like to add a tube preamp and upgrade my speakers to Diamond Series or something else. Could anyone please give me some feedback and suggestion on what speakers I should look into? Will B&W 803 Diamond Series be good enough? Please share your experience and I really appreciate any feedback from members.

Hey man great system. I completely understand your problem. I started with the cm-5 monitor speakers and upgraded. Definitely try to compare the 803d and 802d head to head if you can, I did. They are a huge improvement. They are very similar sounding but also two different animals. The 803d sound amazing but the 802d noticeably edge it out overall. I am also looking at some tube preamp. The c2300 is a nobrainer but I'm trying to save some scratch from the c500. If you upgrade your speakers to the diamond series you will need to upgrade your amp also.
