Hello,

Today I had the chance to demo the Moon 700i with the B&W 802. I am totally disappointed!

I am not sure if it is the amp OR the Speakers.

The bass was punchy but not extended (decays very fast). I could not enjoy the music due to the bass (don't get me wrong, I love bass but the bass that I experienced was extremely clinical with ZERO extension).
Imaging was awful. Instrument separation was a nightmare. It was clear that the music is coming directly from left and right boxes (speakers)! To enjoy music, speakers must disappear.

The room at the store is small 4m x 4.5m

My listening room is 6.5m x 7m

The Moon 700i is on sale for $8000 CAD, demo unit. This offer is crazy but I am not sure if the previous mentioned issues are B&W related or Moon related.

What do u think?
