I recently had the opportunity to sit down and really audition a pair of B&W 802's with Center HTM1 ( methinks ) and nautilus series sub. I absolutely adored the sound. I mainly listened (and watched) eagles: hell freezes over dts dvd. I was amazed. Tunes like "new york minute" were just so enveloping and entertaining to listen to.
At roughly 8500 US for the pair, I don't see myself owning these anytime soon. I'm still in college. While I'm not on a beer budget (roughly 4k) is there anyway to get the sound that i heard for a cheaper price? I don't mean to be cheap, or anything like that. I just really enjoyed what I heard and was wondering if there was anything that sounded as good as that for less.
I was hoping to buy my entire setup, but after hearing those i could deffinitely purchase in phases (fronts and center or just fronts) then add as funds come in.
I would appreciate any opinions as to what the best route might be. That's mainly what i'm asking for- opinions.
