B&W Advice Needed!

[beatboy77]

Just want some opinions on which way to go. First, the variables:

Amp to power speakers: McIntosh MC252
Size of Room: 12'x20x'8'
Music Taste: Mainly Classic Rock and Classical

Contenders (All In Excellent Condition)
B&W 804S with HTM4S Center Channel - $3500
B&W 804N - $2600
B&W 803S - $3700
B&W 802N - $4100

Which way should I go as I am not able to audition all of these?

Thanks,

Josh

I would go with the 803S or 802N.

The 802N will give you a better bass response. The 803S is a more up to date speaker, and that is a good price.

Out of the 4 that you have listed, I've heard only the 802N and the 803s. I'd take the 802N. It has more presence and is really smooth sounding.
