Bridged Crown XLS 2502 driving B&W 801 matrix S2

System is up and running.

Bridged Crown XLS 2502s act as monoblocks. Output 1550 crazy watts per side.



Initial impression
Compared to my Plinius/Cary bi-amp setup, the later sounds much warmer, refined, smooth and musical. On the other hand, the Crown sounds cold, a little rough and mechanical. More power the better, 1550W doesn't help.

One of the amp is new, lets wait and see.
