I want to reiterate the DB1D is a fine sub, my complaint is with the way it mates with the 805D3, or, doesn't mate, that I feel was a mistake by the B&W engineers. To get the DB1D to sound right with the 805D3 (in stereo mode/input), the gain is at 8db (out of 10dB), and the equalizer settings are all set at 3dB and above (5dB being the max). If this sub was designed correctly, after choosing the 805D3 as the speaker, the settings would not need adjusting as much as I have had to adjust mine to get it to perform right

Crickets from B&W. They treat me like an anomaly even though the district rep agrees with my assessments

Which JL did you get? How do you have it connected? Was it challenging to integrate? Thanks, Michael |

so if I understand well, connecting db subwoofer to XLR will give better sound pressure level than connected to RCA, even without the circuit inside the amplifier being really unbalanced ?
I have no audible output (cones are moving) on an DB2D on E600 Accuphase RCA pre-out, even with all gains set to maximum. So I will try balanced pre-out.

Just to clarify--is this a new set up purchased from a dealer? If yes, I would insist that your dealer help you before the time for risk-free return lapses. Good luck

Just really surprised that B&W is not correcting this....

It is a case of the engineers thinking they know more than the customer who is actually using this poorly designed product and getting unacceptable performance and even worse support in correcting this issue.
