Thank you!
I thought I was losing my mind!
Your B&W dealer at least had some acoustic panels and better speaker placement and proper sitting distance!
Mine had none of the above.
But the end result was very similar: Disapppointment.
I thought the 800D did NOT have enough bass for my
personal preference, and I underline personal preference.
I don't know. Like you said, it must be bad room acoustics because I thought the 800Ds did not sound very good. Overall, I was VERY
DISAPPOINTED.
Please believe me when I say that I REALLY REALY WANTED the 800Ds to sound like the Holy Grail of speakers. It would have given me something new to BUY in the near future.
I love GREAT speakers.
But I walked away a bit
ANGRY. I did
NOT walk away all smiley and happy thinking that my DefTechs were the best speakers in the world. I want something even
BETTER!!! That is why I have a HT Piggy Bank. That is why I work hard. I want to buy some awesome speakers that will melt the walls and everything around it.
It would be sad to think that any $23K pr of speakers (any brand) would sound that mediocre!!!
So when I wrote my original post yesterday, I was feeling ANGRY and SARCASTIC, NOT happy.
