so one starts with a wide, flat, response that can be altered with tone controls easily if desired. It does have great bass and good resolution as well.

However for me, the Marantz 1060(2230 minus the tuner I'm told) was too soft or mellow compared to my Yamaha CR-2020. Of course, I cannot hear anything well over 10KHz.

Looking at your system, can you tell if the B&W 805 sounds the same as the B&W HTM centers? Sorry to wander off topic, but I previously purchased two reasonably priced HTMs hoping they would be the same as the 805 mini monitors.

Okay, thank you. With the HTMs, I was trying to get 805s on the cheap. - alaskahiatt 09:45:00 04/21/24 (0)
