Nice set up.ive just set up my entry level system.your system is my future dream for fabulous sound.its a learning curve for me and I’m loving it.watching this vid has pushed me forward to sound audio perfection.many thanks.
I bought my first pair of B&W, 602 S3, in high school. Some 20+ years later, I still have them, now in my bedroom. B&W 800 Series 2 in my main room, 802 Diamond in my office. Crown D75a amps on the 602, quad D75a on the 802s, Crown Studio Reference on the 800s. I don't regret any $ spent on these. And even with all of this, I'm very happy with the 602s.
It's really strange .. even when I listen to this through my smartphone speaker (I know .. it makes no sense :) ), I can feel the great transparency of the sound .. In real life, I'm sure this system sounds amazing ..
Thank you for playing the system. Really dont like other reviewers who refuse to play the equipment and yes I know I am not hearing the real thing thru you tube, however, there are some qualities that can be determined.
I’ve heard these things in person and as good as this sounds through your phone headphones etc, it really doesn’t do them justice like being in the room with them.. beyond words 👍🏻
The B&W 800 series (Own a pair of 802's myself) are truly a beautiful thing. They are so warm and neutral (sounds contradictory as warm lends itself to a bumped middle range, but it can have clean depth without harshness). Neutral is not forward without excess bumps. But they aren't super wide or transparent. Maybe it's the mic or room, but the speaker sounded muffled, or held back. They need to be played louder. But for music like this, I want a jazz like atmosphere. I would put these up against a Klipschorn or Cornwalls for this song.
non mi piace desiderare ciò che non posso avere ma questa canzone riprodotta da quei diffusori e con quell'amplificazione è straordinaria, mi piace moltissimo e l'ho sentita molte volte.
Norah Jones voice it's reson for use to test audio systems , i use for testing after move speakers in room , for check . to my video's sound it's horryble .. in reality it's incredible ! Nice system !
Those are some really nice speakers. Those are my go to if i ever win the lottery but for now I will just keep my Kappa RS-7s and my NHT 3.3 Reference. My Krell Amps i will keep. lol
*sensacional simplesmente meu sonho de consumo.sou um amante da música. mas infelizmente morando num país onde reina a corrupção esse sonho se torna quase impossível*
Very nice. All speakers have color and with these, the vocals have a bit of megaphone color, probably from that deep tweeter funnel. So beautiful though. That McIntosh gear... speechless. I can afford Marantz. 😃
Well, that's a fine wine of a stereo, one of the best around $100,000. Amazing B&W 800Ds, two piece Mac tube pre-amp with two jumbo Mac mono-blocks and Mac CD player to round it all out. Big time !
Or someone could just get a really nice dac like the schiit yggdrasil or mytek brooklyn dac and some really nice amps with a high class a bias and save 90k and still probably sound just as good.
But you dont hear those speakers. Where is the sound that you hear coming from? Your speakers. You hear a recording of those speakers played through your speakers
If I was asked to spend a night with Jennifer Lopez, or a day with this piece of art , I would think about choosing my favorite tracks ! P.S. although i love female beauty
@@Davidarris1969 I find that B&W has plenty of depth, especially the 800d3's - they just have a very flat frequency response. But I guess its down to preference, I like music as its produced, I don't like colouration
What particular album it’s this song from I been trying to reproduce the same sound however I Dont have that particular version of that song can you tell me where to find the exact version of the song your using please.
Norah Jones sounds good as always. A Bowie recording might be more insightful. How many octaves does the singer reach that are displayed in one song and how electronically challenging is the track? Wild is The Wind and Sound and Vision track just jumped in my head.
Can tell it's a beautiful sounding setup even over youtube, impressive. Be nice to see how they hold up with some well produced rock or metal. All these reviews play mellow music, most gear does ok with acoustic and vocal music, but try Black Sabbath's Paranoid and much of it falls on its face.
It is a very well produced album. Sounds good on many audio setups. That's why they choose music like this to demo. Heard these speakers at the Bristol show and they do sound excellent but so they should for the price
Can I kindly ask that you play on this magnificent system keep talking by pinkfloyd please .? That would make year 2020 s bit more bearable.thank you from the bottom of my heart.✌️❤️
I would play Pink Floyd with great pleasure but unfortunately their songs are heavy-copyrighted and no partnership with UA-cam Content ID, therefore I could not post it. Kind regards
Ehhh Mcintosh, been there done that, it's only good for this type of music. But I have to say that the selection of speaker with this type of mcintosh is really brilliant.
Here's a thought for you audiophiles. The more gear you are running through before the sound gets to your ears, and i'm including super high end speakers, the farther you are getting away from what the artist and recording engineer intended for the recording to sound like. A more accurate representation is probably closer on a pair of bookshelf speakers and a stereo amp running flat with no EQ adjustments whatsoever. The recording has already been mastered through all sorts of compressors/limiters, noise reduction and such. You are just undoing what they have already done. Looks impressive though.
I like speakers that disappear in the room. These are like “look at me” prima donnas. The gushing reviews here.. sure the 8xx series is lovely but at this price range and a bit below there’s great competition.
Right at about 19 second mark, she hits a high note and and we get some sort of distortion. Sounds like the speaker can't decide between midrange and tweeter or something. Not sure what you call that but I expect more at that price point in loudspeakers. Other than that it sounds very good.
Simply amazing. The cost bring tears to my eyes though.
Non, Haute (très) fidélité et finance sont indissociables .
@Watt a Flac He says knowledge and finance are inseparable and i agree.
@ calaf_72, yes that's it and i see we agree together. The most important is to get pleasure with its own capacities (sorry for my poor English !).
Lol.
Yes, $70,000 seems a bit steep just to recreate music accurately. This problem is solved with a decent stereo and $10 worth of THC.
The depth to her voice is beyond words. Nice!
Beautiful, tasteful and a system that was intelligently chosen!

it is amazing, that feeling of that bass wave hitting your body is awesome
Maybe it’s just a mental thing. I feel the same too.
Thank you for playing the system. Really dont like other reviewers who refuse to play the equipment and yes I know I am not hearing the real thing thru you tube, however, there are some qualities that can be determined.
Макинтоши роскошные, аж сердце чаще забилось при взгляде на их оформление и звук ))
Those are my dream speakers. My uncle has awesome custom made 800 D2, I just love them.
I’ve heard these things in person and as good as this sounds through your phone headphones etc, it really doesn’t do them justice like being in the room with them.. beyond words 👍🏻
Oh Yes now we are Talking.👏👏👏
Love a big Bit Of B&W🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
That's some serious texture in the bass.
This sounds amazing through my phone. ;)

The presence of the Klipsches would wipe the floor with them. La Scalas too!
@@DougMen1 matter of opinion
One of the best sound that i ever heard on youtube,thank you.
What you hear is the microphone capturing the room ambiance...
Сюда бы ещё и "Наутилус"-ы!!!Космосссс!!!👌
Точно! 👉
Awesome.. going to piece this setup together bit by bit. Have to have it before I die.. lol damn it sounds great 👍🏻
my favorite norah album, her music is soo good! also great sq! glad not all reference material is boring :)
one knows the title of the song
I think by now even Norah Jones is tired of Norah Jones being played on these audio presentations!!! Give it a rest!!!
For real! Play some hard-hitting rn'r for a freaking change.
I'm drawling over the McIntosh equipment....simply gorgeous....
I think you mean “drooling” : )
non mi piace desiderare ciò che non posso avere ma questa canzone riprodotta da quei diffusori e con quell'amplificazione è straordinaria, mi piace moltissimo e l'ho sentita molte volte.
Good Lord... dream setup right there... ultra sweet.
Thank you, very beautiful sound collection
Norah Jones voice it's reson for use to test audio systems , i use for testing after move speakers in room , for check . to my video's sound it's horryble .. in reality it's incredible ! Nice system !
Those are some really nice speakers. Those are my go to if i ever win the lottery but for now I will just keep my Kappa RS-7s and my NHT 3.3 Reference. My Krell Amps i will keep. lol
Impressive. Even room treatment - bass traps and sound absorption panels. Just starting to look into this
McIntosh... canzone... cosi cosi... ma... in tutto... amici, siete nel' paradiso!
Stunning Setup!
That is a beautiful set up!
*sensacional simplesmente meu sonho de consumo.sou um amante da música. mas infelizmente morando num país onde reina a corrupção esse sonho se torna quase impossível*
That Norah's album is her best sounding. It's so well recorded that it sounds good in almost any audio equipment
Whats the name of the album?
@@haroldbriones8529 i's called "Feels like home" Believe me it sounds real good.
@@jorgemartin5093 i already got mine!thanks man i really enjoyed it
I just picked it up too.
Very nice. All speakers have color and with these, the vocals have a bit of megaphone color, probably from that deep tweeter funnel. So beautiful though. That McIntosh gear... speechless. I can afford Marantz. 😃

Whenever I want to listen to high quality speakers, i just watch a video of them playing what i want to hear on youtube
But you dont hear those speakers. Where is the sound that you hear coming from? Your speakers. You hear a recording of those speakers played through your speakers
Nice sales floor demo. I really like those 1.2kw's !
Incredible loudspeakers, i have a old 802 Matrix 95.
Nice equipment & good presentation. Company Reps. should take a page from you. Less talk and more action. Good work.
Dream machine !!!
Simply Superb......! 🙂 Happy Diwali.
睇都係享受😍
Just curious, how much is the electricity bill for that kind of system? 😁
He have his own powerplant.
If you have to ask.....
My wife is asking why im dribbling over the ipad
The sound changes dramatically as the microphone moves. very good.
looks like heaven!
Looks like heaven that’s the key. Look.
If I was asked to spend a night with Jennifer Lopez, or a day with this piece of art , I would think about choosing my favorite tracks !
P.S. although i love female beauty
Its a love and hate relationship when listening to music. I love the music and the audio system but i hate the cost.
The pairing of B&W and McIntosh is a fantastic match.
TRUE,BUT THE SOUND IS VERY VERY TINNY NO DEPTH.😉✌
@David Morgan You think so? I would say better than driven by Classe when they were the same company.
MUCH RATHER MONITOR AUDIO THAN B ND W.😉✌👌
@@Davidarris1969 I find that B&W has plenty of depth, especially the 800d3's - they just have a very flat frequency response. But I guess its down to preference, I like music as its produced, I don't like colouration
Да "Наутилусы" поинтересней акустика!
Just awesome!
What particular album it’s this song from I been trying to reproduce the same sound however I Dont have that particular version of that song can you tell me where to find the exact version of the song your using please.
так живо, класс!!))
Just wooow great sound
What a Song. What a System. Even trough my smartphone it Sounds so perfekt.
Was ist as good in real ?
Love it. thanks bro
Amazing sound...
Norah Jones sounds good as always. A Bowie recording might be more insightful. How many octaves does the singer reach that are displayed in one song and how electronically challenging is the track? Wild is The Wind and Sound and Vision track just jumped in my head.
Awesome sound.
One question... Are two monoblocks driving the woofers and one power amp for mid-range and Twitters?
夢のようなシステムだ！
My Martin Logan's thank you for the awesome sound. 🎵
this is the song I always test speakers. you can easily tell if the base and humble is out of control
Thanks.What about 19th second of this clip.Is there a sound sizzle or simply my head phone has a problem?
👏👏 nice sound system.
That sounds incredible but you know I have that album and he sounds just beautiful in my system pretty well recorded
Is it just me or is the sound very natural. I asume its the tube preamp, isnt it?
Can tell it's a beautiful sounding setup even over youtube, impressive. Be nice to see how they hold up with some well produced rock or metal. All these reviews play mellow music, most gear does ok with acoustic and vocal music, but try Black Sabbath's Paranoid and much of it falls on its face.

I've listen to the 802's and they sounded great but haven't yet heard the 800's (yet).
JoeMa 8318 // According to those who have posted about it, it‘s a different league.
Where are those lights from? Looks super nice.
clinical and icy - where is the mellow fragility ?
Very nice
Nice set up. Bro that 2 box blue lighting what is it ???. Is it pre amp *??
Wow awesome 😎
Sounds great through my computer speakers...
You know all those McIntosh amps could make a bag of rocks sound good.
Beautiful equipment ✌
ONE EPIC SYSTEM
I don't think they are "burned in" yet. And they sound this good? Spooky cool.
This is my dream
Good sound, is it fatiguing over long listening periods?
*VERY NICE!!*
Just poor man curiosity: how much does this rig cost aprox. ???
Can I kindly ask that you play on this magnificent system keep talking by pinkfloyd please .? That would make year 2020 s bit more bearable.thank you from the bottom of my heart.✌️❤️

@@SoundSommelier I appreciate your response. Thank you very much.✌️
what is song ,
❤
When the sound is kinda HD through a camera speaker you can say that you have a good loudspeaker 😂😂
Ehhh Mcintosh, been there done that, it's only good for this type of music. But I have to say that the selection of speaker with this type of mcintosh is really brilliant.
Feel as Noah Jones singing live. Kindly could you play kiya huwa tera wada by Mohammed rafi from India .
Here's a thought for you audiophiles. The more gear you are running through before the sound gets to your ears, and i'm including super high end speakers, the farther you are getting away from what the artist and recording engineer intended for the recording to sound like.

Ok !
What was the best speaker for you in your carer?
I got JRDG 301 AB type speaker can this B&W 800 series match? Especially on rock song?
Badass rig!
I wanna request absolute magitude by cristh geith or what is love by haddaway
Yeh baby...now your talkin...what is love by haddaway!
Very nice ! 👍
Very nice system. What was the source of Nora's album? Was it CD or streaming? If streaming, what source? Thanks.
There's a silver CD player at the back on the blue racking playing (non-macintosh).
Wow!
Такая музыка и на S-30 звучит отлично.
I like speakers that disappear in the room. These are like “look at me” prima donnas. The gushing reviews here.. sure the 8xx series is lovely but at this price range and a bit below there’s great competition.
Superbe. Top !!!
I notice clipping in the recording system.
XD
Right at about 19 second mark, she hits a high note and and we get some sort of distortion. Sounds like the speaker can't decide between midrange and tweeter or something. Not sure what you call that but I expect more at that price point in loudspeakers. Other than that it sounds very good.
IMO it‘s the mic. There simply is no way to properly translate the sound of this setup to a camera recording/home system playback conversion.
You heard the recording clip.
WOW
