TBH, the setup I got em in now - driven by a denon 2807, they do sound rather lifeless.
I ran them with a adcom 5802, then a nakamichi PA7. They were better, but still not the greatest.
They sounded the best so far with a marantz sr5002 (totally against my expectations).
In my living room though, the 802's are going to be killed by my EV sp12's, or a few other horn based speakers.
I also am hoping I get another FCM8 and I can complete the PCS8+FCM8 set and get it working, and sell the 802's. The PCS8 is a 801 S3 woofer basically, in a trapezium shaped cabinet. The FCM8's are a 3 hard dome tweeter array with 2 6.5"s that rival the mids of the 802. IMHO, its an 802 beater in a cheaper cabinet.
That setup also needs an active XO and a biamp setup.
Anyway the 802's are needing some fabrication work, which I am doing now, so I'll know in a bit about putting it in different positions etc etc.
Cool.
Srinath.
