Description

I have been playing with this system for years now, and really hadn't been happy until the addition of the 800D's. The Diamond speakers are certainly the best thing that B&W has come out with yet. Still haven't decided if I'm sticking with high-res stuff. Finally have all signal cables from Synergistic and all power cables from Shunyata. Any suggestions are welcome.

I also have the 800D's, and I am making the amplfier choice right now. I am currently considering the Classe CA-M400 monos, the Omega Omicrons, and the Pass Labs X600's. How do you like the Omicrons? Do they have enough power to really drive the 800D's? I am really hoping for some good feedback. I am looking to get my amps in the next few days. Thanks.
