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!!
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?
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 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
This loudspeaker controls the (somewhat reverberant) room perfectly! You can also hear here that this is a perfect recording.

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....
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.
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.
Don't call it a miracle, but it's your (listening-) experience that you achived over the years. (,';--)) Es ist kein 'Wunder', sondern Ihre (Hör-) Erfahrung, die Sie im Laufe der Jahre gemacht haben. (,';--))
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.
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 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.

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

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 🔊 🔊

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 expected a more dense, rich sound, more "meat", if you want from this legendary line by B&W. I think the problem is that they picked up a bunch of amplifiers and speakers unsuccessfully.

Thank you for playing a piece of music at least most of us can recognise and use to compare.
Never heard Phil Collin sounding so good. Absolutely stunning sound
WOW!!! I haven't heard this song in years! It took me back to my younger years like yesterday?! The sound was great!!!!
O MY GOD... such an amazing sound, This is the king. AWESOME... THANKS FOR THE SHARE.
Wish I could hug them for their performance. Thanks for the demo.
High end B&W's are sheer works of art!
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 $.
Oh my jesus crist. Beautiful this is my dream
Wow . Those speakers .simply incredible.
bright sound
Great collection
Ah, esse Phil Collins! Toca bem demais nessa B&W.
Mas é bom ouvir o Phil em qualquer caixa, também.
Parabéns pelo vídeo!
Un sonido muy bueno y una canción fantástica de Phill Collins

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.

How would you compare the 800 D3 with the Triangle Magellan Cello, please ? Price difference is substantial, I am aware...
