Never heard Phil Collin sounding so good. Absolutely stunning sound
Thank you for playing a piece of music at least most of us can recognise and use to compare.
WOW!!! I haven't heard this song in years! It took me back to my younger years like yesterday?! The sound was great!!!!
Wish I could hug them for their performance. Thanks for the demo.
O MY GOD... such an amazing sound, This is the king. AWESOME... THANKS FOR THE SHARE.
Oh my jesus crist. Beautiful this is my dream
Ah, esse Phil Collins! Toca bem demais nessa B&W.
Mas é bom ouvir o Phil em qualquer caixa, também.
Parabéns pelo vídeo!
High end B&W's are sheer works of art!
bright sound
Those are beautiful speakers! Sound in my headphones is awesome. Great choice of music for the demo, Thank You!
So beautifuuuull thanks for share those videos.
dream setup. I would rather have this at home than Ferrari
@ Robert Jones. No no Ferrari better. 👍
Give me the Ferrari, then i sell it and buy this setup plus a nice new car.
Next Nexit absolutely agree!!!
So do I
A New Ferrari is 300'000 $. This B&W is 30'000 $.
Wow . Those speakers .simply incredible.
Un sonido muy bueno y una canción fantástica de Phill Collins
the power, clear and dream :) beautyfull setup
A close friend of mine had a pair of these powered by Classé mono blocs and a lovely Linn LP12. I regularly invite myself there for a cup of tea. 😂
Once in a while take.them out to your house. And make the tea and please call me :-)
@@BojanPetrovicvft if only I was a world strong man considering how much these weigh! 😂
Great collection
NICE SONG!!! WITH GREAT SPEAKER
Beautiful!
EFFING AMAZING I CANT AFFORD!
My favourite Phil Collins track. But, I find the B&W is just a tad relaxed for my taste. I would love to hear the same track through the Dynaudio Contour 60 and Sonus Faber Olympica Nova 3. Once again, fantastic job!!
Love my 803D3's to death. My wife surprised me with them as she knew I have wanted them for years.
Nice wife ! 🤣
You have a priceless wife!
Does she have a sister? :-)
How I would looove to do Tales From Topographic Oceans or Selling England By The Pound with these speakers!
Ogni tanto si incontra qualche detrattore della B&W. Ma a sentire questi diffusori la cosa mi pare inverosimile. Fantastiche!!!
bravo e lascia perdere chi pensa il contrario..... B&W - PMC - ProAc - Dynaudio il top del top
Awesome!!! The Rolls Royce of Speaker brands.
These sound like butter on my ls50s👌
Lee Barrett and they JAM on my b&w 606s
So good!!!
One day I must have one...
Dude, you literally have a fortune in that room!
Mamma mia, sono orgamismiche. Chissà se riescono a suonare anche del buon rock come qualche brano di Joe Satriani
The B&W serie 8 are the Paradise. I've not much money. I had bought
The 702 S 2. Fabioo from Italy
Sorry for my english language.
Grande Fabio
I took a listening of both the 803D3 and 802D3 at one of the BestBuy's Magnolia stores, I came away liking the 803's more than the bigger brother. They didn't have the 800's, so I couldn't tell.
Always depends on what’s driving them maybe the setup was in favour of 803’s. I mean a 90w a channel amp may be just right for 803’s but on 802’s they may like a more powerful amp to bet better accuracy
Denon-killer sound!
Crystal clear
B&W sonho de consumo,pena que no Brasil não tem condições nesse preço do dólar.
it was most beautiful to just stay wiht phone in front of speakers
Excelente.
Great sound ! I own Focal 1028BE also a great speaker, but this sounds also great! About 35yrs ago i had the B&W DM6 and the B&W DM7 both were great speakers - with the tweeter above. I regret that i sold them in the past, but that was 35 yrs ago. I wonder how they will sound today?
Fantásticos i LOVE speaker
made in chine
Phil Collins 👌❤️️
Sounds just fantastic from my Altec Lansing...😊
Excelent...
Ha! An Esoteric F-05 integrated. . .
I have one and think it's a great amp. Don't see it crop up very often👍
What do you think of Esoteric f05? Do you think it a substantial upgrade coming from Marantz pm11s3? I want sound more upfront, with more tempo and dynamics, but don't want to trade Marantz signature richness and musicality
i would like 803 d3 more than my wife !
THE BEST !
Прекрасный звук
What sound a Dream
SWEEEEET!!!
Nice sofa.
Спасибо!!!

WOW
Hi Sound Sommelier, I love your videos, could watch for hours! "Great" and the picture quality is also very good, what camera are you filming with? best regards....
Any issues using a McIntosh mc 255 with 803’s? Only using 3 channels so gives me 250 watts. I know 803 is rated to 500 watts. Thanks
Looks Fancy
Hello, I am thinking about getting a pair of B&W 803 D3 speakers and powering them with Anthem STR pre and power amplifiers. How do you think that this would sound?
I did happen to hear a demo recently at B&W store a 805D3 paired with Anthem pre & power amp and it sound absolutely gorgeous. I sat at the store for more than 2hrs. To me it felt like a perfect match. Good luck hope you get your dream match.
I'm listening to this with my meze empyrean headphone. Sounds amazing and i can hear every instrument. I wish you would make a list of more songs with this 803 D3.
Are those Klipsch RF-7ii speakers white? Are they wrapped? Curious because I have some klipsch palladium speakers I am considering getting wrapped
😻
I wonder if the Accuphase E-800 with 50 Watts of pure class A will be enough to drive the 803s, any thoughts?
How would you compare the 800 D3 with the Triangle Magellan Cello, please ? Price difference is substantial, I am aware...
Small room, small speakers 👍

Ước mơ của tôi
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Would it be better to use Esoteric F-03a instead? or is the F-03a underpowered?
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I know you have access to a lot of equipment, so I was wondering what your take on the Esoteric F-05 was?
I've had one for the last few months and think it's a very nice all-rounder.
How would you place it against the Hegel 590 I wonder? I would love to directly compare them...
Take care; we have been watching your problems in Italy (a lot of Italians in Scotland, inc. my sister-in-law) so our prayers continue to go out to you. All the best.
Thanks a lot Bill! Sorry I missed your comment...I consider The F-05 one of the best integrated at any price. Maybe not the absolute perfect partner for B&W 800 series. Their extreme separation and definition could request a more mellow amplification to be musically satisfying (just my opinion). I never compared the esoteric with Hegel 590 in controlled condition therefore I can't give you an useful opinion. All the best to you and your family
@@SoundSommelier Hi there, & np, I knew that you probably hadn't noticed, life is busy. . . Well, it used to be at least!
And all the very best to you and your family too, do stay in touch and keep up the videos, they're a very welcome source of respite to hi-fi addicts everywhere👍🎶😉
Am listening to this demo on a high end PC and Sennheiser gaming headphones.First off,to level the playing field, I think the speakers should exchange places when playing.Personally I prefer speakers that sound a bit forward and the Band W's sound so to me .Both are fantastic sounding but the Bowers are more open and instrument placements are more defined.The Bowers are incredible works of art which one could enjoy just looking at them in candlelight with them turned off.Also they are less expensive than the Martens, which, to be brutally frank look like cheap DIY efforts.
The 800 series tends to sound pretty good!
Yep... one of these days... one, of, these, days... I'm going to get a wild hair up my ass and just POP on a pair of those without thinking twice. I can sell my CM-10's to help ease the pain.
Good sound, very clear, but I prefer it batter with Copland... it is true miracle that I can hear such difference over youtube.
Don't call it a miracle, but it's your (listening-) experience that you achived over the years.

Nice, what do these go for in Italy??
Wow these sound amazing...could someone tell me when is spending $30,000 for a pair of speakers worth it? I mean if you want a 5.2 surround system, what would the cost be?
At any rate, I want to thank the Sound Sommelier for turning me on to the Tannoy revolution (something) lol...to me these sound awesome and if God wills, these are the speakers I'm going to get. But let me ask the SS...for a speaker for a beginner, do you recommend anything that would sound better than the Tannoy
I'd recommend the 700 series if looking at price/performance for B&W
these speakers are a great match with naim.
Denon PMA 2500NE & Dynaudio evoke 50
what is your recorder ? please.

This loudspeaker controls the (somewhat reverberant) room perfectly! You can also hear here that this is a perfect recording. Suddenly it becomes clear how important these two components belong together, especially when you think of the bad sound of the previous video, (ELAC Carina Demo with Air - Playground), which could not be enjoyed at all.
(Provided they apply same recording conditions.)

Diese Box beherrscht den (etwas halligen) Raum perfekt! Außerdem hört man hier, dass es sich um eine perfekte Schallplattenproduktion handelt. Auf einmal wird klar, wie wichtig diese beiden Komponenten zusammen gehören, besonders wenn man an den schlechten Sound des vorangegangen Videos denkt (ELAC Carina mit Air -Playground), das so gar nicht gefallen konnte.
(Vorausgesetzt es gelten die selben Aufnahmebedingungen.)
(,':--))
Cho tôi biết tên ca khúc này được không?
Nah.. They havent produced a good sounding speaker since the 801 D´s - But ofc thats just my oppinion.. always nice of u to upload thise videos.. ur sound is as always the best on YT ;)
I don’t like B&W speakers either. Even more strange that I find their headphones fantastic.
Since ur Italian, cant u get Chario in ur line up.
what is like BW 803 sound compare to KEF Reference Meta's
All I know is I listened to these yesterday 802's with two McIntosh monoblocks attached and all the fixings about $80,000 worth of stuff I was told. I much prefer my JBL 590's sitting next to me for a fraction of the cost of what these are! Using a Denon 3801 receiver! James Blunts latest album which has fantastic sound quality! I contribute most of that to the compression driver and the horn that the 590 offers. Now I don't know if I had these in my room which of course they weren't they would blow me away but I was very unimpressed to what I was listening to using the same songs that I'm listening to right now!🤪🤪🤯🤯😳😳 They sounded a little bit veiled in comparison I was shocked. I know sound is subjective but this was Way Beyond subjectiveness.🤔🤔🙄😬 And yes, it could have been the McIntosh amps that suck the life out of them but they didn't sound too good to me that's for sure.
Porche cannot substitute Ferrari 😅😆❤👍
Apiwat Butter Flavor yes it can 😝
Big Jay I hear you, horn speakers have a level of clarity, power, and presence that other speaker types simply can’t match. I have Klipsch RF7i’s, a bit too bright but overall very good, and the bass is unreal from the dual 10’s, no need for a sub 🔊 🔊
@@jstoli996c4s
I use the technique New Record Day talks about regarding facing the horn loaded speaker to the opposite seat cushion that I am sitting on and it sounds fantastic! Only can do with horn loaded tweeters like mine and yours! You should try it if you haven't already! Tilted like 45 degrees in. I used a laser pointer and it really worked tremendously!🤗😇😜😬
Big Jay I appreciate the advice, might give it a try 👍 A couple years ago I heard the big dog 800 D3’s at a hifi store and was underwhelmed by them. Maybe using the wrong amp? Incredible holographic imaging and soundstage, but completely lacking in power and bass. Perhaps would have sounded better using big McIntosh or Classe amps, but seems ridiculous to spend $50k+ on such a setup.
Hey man how do you have so many speakers ?
He is a Dealer. So he has so many speakers for sale.
Somehow my self modded infintys don't sound so good any more.
😂👍
Great system but I would prefer those focal Kanta standing behind. Just personal taste.
Had Kanta’s...sold them! Getting 803D3’s.

На Japex. ru такие ( только в коричневом цвете) сейчас выставлены за 800 тыс. за пару...
Судя по всему, просто ахуенна.!
Судя по всему да. Было бы ещё и по карману вообще цены бы не было 😃.
ahaa....
Gra zajebiście jak dla mnie spoko sprzęt ale nie dla wszystkich trzeba mieć gruby portfel i w miarę spory salon.
How meaningful is difference between 803 and 804?
those white RF-7 ?
Yea i was abbot to ask the same question, I have those on black but never saw it on white. Would be great for my room👍 And those blue Polk?
Yes, the white speakers are Klipsch RF7ii.
Blue speakers are KEF.
@@jstoli996c4s they are so beautiful in white!!
Is it necessary to show the back of the speakers?
BI amp towers
I weirdly prefer the KEF ref 3. The speaker that pulled me out of B&W, after owning N805, N804, 802D2, ... D3 is a bit to fakely revealing. KEF ref 3, more balanced and beautiful soundstage
i like the d3 better than kef ref
And then you plug in your phone cause you don't have money for the rest... i rather go to live concert each day for that money...
Typically a Accuphase amplifier will be a good match to drive B&W speaker. Your B&W speAker could sing better then the current setup.
