Thanks for the review. I always enjoy reading yout stuff. I purchased a pair of these about 4 months ago and am still fooling around with cables and placement. (I also want to replace my Krell KSL and KAV-2250.) I thought your comments regarding the tubes was interesting. I have auditioned a number of different amplifiers including tube pre w/tube amp, tube pre w/ss amp, and ss pre w/ss amp. Haven't had the opportunity to try the ARC equipment yet, but I have access to it and will do so in the next several weeks. Last weekend I brought the 804's to friends and hooked them up to his BAT VK-3i and VK-200. I preferred the BAT to my Krell in several areas, but I thought the Krell was better in others. Soundstaging seems to be pretty good with both combinations. I'm going to bring thre BAT over to my place later this week for a few days so I can do a side by side.I have a question which actually goes back to your review of the BAT 300xSE integrated. In that review you noted that the BAT/B&W combination's sounstage was a bit 2D and that "substituting an Audio Research VT-100 mk.3 did not significantly improve the issue of truncated height on the B&W speaker."
Can you comment further on this, please? Did you still notice the truncated height and was it of any significance? DO you think thr truncation was the result of the integated vs separates?
Thanks for your help. Forrest.
