Clueless on the incredible sound high end amps and speakers actually create! Those Bowers and Wilkins 801's are $50K each! Let me guess you spent $100 on speakers and they sound great too? LMFAO

[@BC-ni3sk]

I've to say you maybe are one of the very few who has made a statement that is so true, the system sounds good and is great if you like it and no two tastes are alike. I have purchased systems beginning in 1974 and I have to say what you've said is so true and if someone tries to tell you differently don't let them. Audio equipment should be what you like and nothing else no matter what anyone else says!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Well said. 👍🏻

[@hosrow]

Wow, so impressive. When you get into something you don’t mess around, do you? This is very apparent with the detailing tools and products you use, to your garage setup, to your choice of car, and now your choice of stereo. Kudos to you. What you hear on your stereo is probably what one hears sitting in the recording studio with the band and musicians sorting across from them. Really cool! More power to you and wishing you continuing success so you could enjoy the best things money can buy. 👍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thank you very much! Hard work pays off.

[@mikedtw]

Congratulations on putting together this sublime audio system. You did a huge service mentioning that people should go with what sounds best to them. I was lucky enough to do A/B testing with power cables about a month after I'd lived with my system and the differences from the factory-supplied cable were jaw-dropping. Highly recommended upgrade.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You can get a decent sound on a cheaper setup. If you can afford this setup go for it. Otherwise there are really good stereoamps, cd players and speakers for less money that will give you a really good sound quality. My setup is as follows: ML classic ESL 9 electrostatic speakers, accuphase dp 450 cd player and BMC C1 integrated stereoamp

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks! Yeah people who come over and listen to it usually qualify it as “breathtaking”. It’s like a private concert with the artist in front of you.

[@warrenalbert7922]

Thanks for sharing Pan. I walked into an audio store with some high end equipment and got to listen to one of my favorite artist play a bass and I could hear finger slides on the strings that I never heard before. True audiophiles appreciate what you shared.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I agree. Some people think high quality audio gear is a waste of money. I think that is complete nonsense. Usually it's those who can't afford systems that say that, because if they actually are honest and get to listen to their favourite recordings on a proper system, it's impossible not to get moved by the music and hear things you wouldn't on a normal setup or your phone. I usually tell people to "be and let be". Be happy for others and if owning a system isn't for you, then that's ok too. :) I have been a music lover for decades, and getting to enjoy my favourite music on a quality setup is really soothing to me.

[@warrenalbert7922]

@@PanTheOrganizer Pan, checkout the song Pearls by Sade. I can’t imagine how awesome it would sound on your system. The strings at the beginning are soul stirring and the purity of her voice is amazing. Enjoy!

Your thought process of course is second to none, this system is insane and I hope you enjoy! Just from the demo at the end, I like this system a lot. The sound is crisp, I like listening to each component of the beat and this makes it easy. I can't imagine it in person! You've outdone yourself sir!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!! And that sound clip was just a copyright free song (to make sure I don't get a copyright strike) so it's not even something well recorded or "audiophile grade" by any means. Putting a proper SACD or HiRes stream from a master audio file on there is simply audio bliss!

[@herewegoagain404]

I listened to the demo on a very nice stereo and it didn't sound good. It totally loses it in the translation. But you have an ultimate dream set up that I would love to listen to and aspire to. I bet it sounds epic in the room. Well done!

[@DeadSeaGenesis]

From detailing Porsche to listening to a full McIntosh rack, you are amazing Pan! Thank you for sharing all your passions with us!

Hi Pan, love the video and love your attitude toward HiFi! So refreshing to watch your enthusiasm for your setup and repeatedly telling your viewers “this is what I like” and not trying to convince anyone this is the best system for everyone! I am sure you have many hours of enjoyment ahead of you! Congratulations on a beautiful system! Thanks for sharing!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks John! I appreciate the positive feedback. I agree with you 100%. In the HiFi world too often people try to convince others of things like “cables are snake oil” or “vinyl is the best, digital is crap” or “don’t get that brand it’s garbage” etc They should just let people pick what works for them and let them enjoy their music the way they want to, which should be the main focus here: enjoying our passion for music. You could have 100 people in the same room and not two people would have the same exact setup. People have different tastes and budgets. There is no “one system bests them all” type answer. Buy what makes you happy and what makes you tap your feet. :) What setup do you currently have?

[@dnauber1]

Wow I had no idea you were into audio. I’ve been watching your car reviews since last year but have been into audio since forever. You would definitely qualify as an audiophile. Glad to know we share similar interests! :)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hehe thanks! Yeah I have shared many of my passions on my channel in past videos through the seven years since I started on KZbin. I have a passion for music, HiFi setups, movies, home theaters, computers, sneaker collections, luxury watch collections, and cars. All the guy "sicknesses" as I call them haha. This is probably my 7th or 8th HiFi setup at this point in my life. Every time I promise myself this is my "end game" setup, it never is. There's always something new, or when you save up more for your budget, you can access an entirely new bracket of components. I love listening to music, so having a high fidelity setup allowing me to indulge in that passion is so much fun. What HiFi setup do yo own?

[@CThienV]

Same here! I used to work in a higher end audio store!

[@yasarmohammed01]

@@PanTheOrganizer I used to own a pair of Devialet Phantom Reactor 900’s for my music, but then swapped them our for a pair of Gold Phantoms. You could argue that they don’t deliver the performance for price, and I myself would not consider them to be audiophile grade, but man I have never since heard such low end performance from such small cabinets. I then swapped them out for a pair of LS60 wireless floorstanding last year and have had these since. I usually stick to all in one active units as I don’t have the luxury to experiment with external amps or dacs, however I have many a headphones and use balanced Drop+Grace dac with balanced thx AAA 789 amp to power them. Music is certainly a passion and people become very confused as to how we can “waste” money on audio equipment. But you can’t put a price on passions, because it’s what we live for. Keep it up Pan. You inspire us all!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah I know Devialet products quite well, I myself have a limited edition sage green version of the new Phantom II, and for its size (it's in my living room), people are always blown away by the power and sound quality that comes out of there, and super low distortion even at crazy loud volumes. It's a great party trick haha. I also had some LS50 wireless speakers (which I reviewed in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZvHgWuOjs53ibs) and those two were great. UniQ technology baby! And I fully agree with you, nobody should argue when it comes to passions. Let people enjoy what they worked hard to achieve and purchase. I think usually, those who say it's a waste of money simply don't have the money to afford high quality setups, so they have to belittle others to make themselves feel better about not owning a great setup. I can assure you that if they won the lottery or had a higher paying job, they would jump on the chance to own a great sound system!! ;)

That's an amazing system. I've been in this hobby for over 40 yrs. When people ask me why I have so much power for my speakers, I say so they aren't driven into distortion. And when I demo and turn it up fairly loud, I get the, wow that's sounds amazing and it doesn't hurt my ears. Yeah, there isn't distortion fatiguing your ears. I have a clean 2.5K of power and two more 800 watt amps waiting to be integrating. It's a great hobby to be in.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Michael. Exactly. Headroom is important. And that extra power allows to hear all the details even at low volume.

[@renewells1880]

Nice looking. I am 100% with you regarding the 801D4. However, all the rest could be replaced with a NAD C658 (which would provide Dirac room correction) and two Benchmark AHB2 amps in mono. I have 801D2 + Halcro DM88 + NAD C658, and the Dirac room correction is extremely impressive.

[@edwarddejong8025]

The 801's with a lot of power behind them are incredibly precise in the bass. Most systems are very mushy in the low frequencies. However you have have immense current availability because when the piston needs to move quickly the electromagnetic force needed means you have to deliver huge currents briefly, so although you only need a few watts to run them normally, you gotta have that giant reserve of power.

[@Gamez4eveR]

Most systems are "very mushy in the low frequencies" not because of the speakers whatsoever, but because of room acoustics. Even basic room correction will take away narrow peakes in bass response from room modes, and after that's done you'll hear bass is not "mushy" at all anymore. After learning how to do room correction, I have not once heard bass in an uncorrected stereo system that even comes close to mine, even in systems literally 20 times the price of mine. Because most of these megabuck systems are owned by purists who never quite understand sound and audio

[@andrewleigh3]

And you heard this all through your PC speakers?

[@edwarddejong8025]

I was fortunate enough to hear the 801's in San Rafael CA at a fancy home theater store that is probably long gone. Those 16 inch woofers, when powered by 1000 Watts with no fancy electronics are super tight, like being in a room next to the kick drum. The founder of Sony Akio Morita had special 3ft wide speakers put in his ceiling so that he could have the most faithful bass experience. The physics of air require either a very large piston, or a big electrostatic membrane kind to push a large area of air swiftly. Most subwoofers and bass reflex systems are incredibly mushy, as they trade accuracy for volume (that is way late time-wise).@@andrewleigh3

@@PanTheOrganizer small world that was around the same time I was competing. I did dB drags for 7 years won good few world finials then rookie SQ for maybe year then I bought the expert black 98 VW beetle that was sponsored by Focal. Use to hang out with Josh Tech and Scott Buwlada. I'll take a look at the video. Maybe I should digitize some old photos and do a collaboration video lol.

[@XXXGRAPENUTSXXX]

Let’s put on “Kind of Blue” from Miles Davis and see how it sounds… looks very nice!!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Funny you should say that, as I love Miles Davis! I have a few of his SACD limited runs including Kind of Blue and Miles Smiles (which is limited to 3000 copies).

[@XXXGRAPENUTSXXX]

@@PanTheOrganizer nice!! Would love to hear a snippet when you get a chance.. Enjoy the system!!

[@mcbain35]

Merci PAN. Loved the video and the passion that you have about the system and relaying that to us. I have watched a few of your videos and while watching this one, I went and subscribed, hopefully now you can go and buy those Sigma cables. It must be surreal to actually hear those BW speakers in person. I live in Montreal if you ever have an open house :)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks! Since the video I did upgrade the Alpha series speaker and power cables, which are already high end cables, to their even higher end Sigma series. I also added the new flagship Kaleidescape Strato C 4K movie player and Terra Prime SSD movie server to my home theater setup. Uncompressed movies best video and sound quality. Makes my ultra high end Oppo 4K blu-ray player seem obsolete haha!

[@donraggo77]

OMG, that's the most beautiful set-up I've ever seen, well done Pan :O :O

[@donraggo77]

I'll just have to settle for my Pioneer VSX 519 and Wharfedale Diamond 10.1s for the time being 🤣🤣

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@peterheinen6110]

Hi, this looks awesome! As a teenager, i had a nice Pioneer stereo. Over the years, i was lured into mp3 crap sound. But, i just bought a second hand Yamaha HTR 6030 and matching Wharfedale speakers. At first, my wife hated it. By now, she won't look telly without the vintage gear connected! I am so happy, enjoying hifi like i did as a kid spending car wash earnings on my Pioneer...😊

[@chino1127]

Perfect setup. Lots of audiophiles are hating on McIntosh but I love them. Love those B&W 801s. Been watching your detailing content for a while now but had no idea you were an audiophile! I mean you’ve got at least a couple well spec’d 911s worth of gear and setup in there!

[@stereothrilla8374]

Well done sir! I’m a professional audio engineer, have published music for over 23 years and I master and work with musicians to shine on these types of systems. I’ve be running B&W Nautilus for over 20 years. My 805s are still in my A/B mastering chain. You did it right my friend. I’d love to see a nice turntable in your setup.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@pmizz7959]

That is an insane setup man. Congrats to you for whatever you do to be able to buy a system like that

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@tapemaster8252]

When you showed us Dynaudio in your detail shop I knew you were an audiophile, everything you did is what I would do if had it like that, absolutely astonishing 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thank you! Do you have a HiFi setup? What gear do you have?

[@schwabit989]

[@sgt4slaughter]

Wow most impressive system, my dream speakers are the same you own. I have listened to alot of different brands and b&w are my absolute favorite. My sourround system is only b&w, absolut joy to listen to.

This set up is phenomenal to say the least. Great job, sounds amazing.

Thanks!

[@MichaelOnRockyTop]

Dude! Congratulations on this acquisition! This is a sick setup. You have no need to go to a theatre ever again.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hehe you are 100% right. I much prefer watching a movie on my setup compared to go to the cinema.

[@robertoalvarez3533]

Absolutely amazing set up. I listened it through AirPods 3 and even with that 5-10% I was able to listen the experience was impressive

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Roberto!

[@lakeoffrost4069]

That set up is insane man... congrats! Any reason you have all that gear between your speakers? If those were set up on the side youd probably getting even more pinpoint imaging than you already get.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

That's how most high end setups are presented. The gear in the center. Including the 2M dollar HiFi setup I presented on this channel. The room has already received treatments, and the speakers were properly positioned. It doesn't matter if the gear is in the center or off center. I prefer the symmetry of having it where it is. No worries about the sound. The system sounds absolutely amazing. As one could imagine. ;)

[@Cypriotkiller]

Lovely setup, lovely video and lovely guy. Thanks for sharing your impressive setup. I'm sure the video recording of the demo really doesn't do the system any justice. I do quite like the REL Carbon subwoofers. REL do some of the best subwoofers I've heard in person. I hope this system lasts you a while!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thank you kindly! And you’re 100% right. You can’t judge a system’s performance by playing a compressed KZbin video through your mobile device or TV. Plus, I picked a royalty-free track as I don’t want you to run the risk of getting a copyright strike on KZbin. So the song was just for fun, as there are always people who say “but you didn’t play a song for us to listen to!” Haha.

[@Scapegoat32]

OMG! I've only ever known you for your car detailing videos and now I learn that you're into HIFI as well!? That is an ABSURD set up, my friend. Congratulations. I am into car audio (SQ), but mostly into headphone and desktop DAC/Amp set ups. I have a pair of HIFIMAN Edition XS and a pair of Meze Audio 109 Pros with a HIFIMAN EF400 DAC/AMP combo. If you haven't given the hi end headphone game a try yet, I recommend it. Cheers!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks! And yup I have a high end headphones collection too. Some of the heaters are: Abyss AB1266 Phi Tc Meze Audio Elite Meze Audio 109 Pro Focal Clear Mg Audeze LCD-X Hifiman Arya Organic To drive them, I have a variety of amps and DACs: Burson Audio Soloist Voyager Deluxe amp Topping DX9 Amp/DAC Ever Solo DMP-A8 DAC and streamer Naim Uniti headphone edition I also have a super high end home theater setup.

I heard that similar setup at a audio shop and I was floored how beautiful everything sounded. Felt like Adele was right in front of me.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks man. All my audiophile friends have their jaws drop when they come over. They usually fight for the main listening chair as they all want to listen to their favourite albums and singers.

@@PanTheOrganizer I have a b&o 5500 from 1987

[@tbusquet]

What made you choose the d4"s? I have the original 801 s80's from 1979 and still love them. Did a lot of upgrades. Also had REL 20 years ago. Didn't do it for me so I built multiple subs myself. And finally decided on CSS 15". The specific model isn't around anymore these days unfortunately. But have some selfmade cabinets which are epic.

[@Tony-wr1gz]

Got a feeling the city lights dim when you listen to music.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hehe actually there is so much power on tap and headroom, at my normal listening volumes the amps indicate only 1.2-12 Watts of draw. Overall amps drawn from the power controller is 5-6 AMPS in big peaks.

[@robertbyrne522]

Good video and I envy you congratulations! Back in 1979 through 1980 I work at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida and we had a tri-amped McIntosh system with tubes .I was absolutely blown away back then and still am to this day. Once again congratulations and thanks for this informative and cool video.

[@garybeaumont543]

Oh my god. This system not only looks fantastic but sounds much better than most ive had the pleasure of listening too. I looked at a mcintosh set up around 6 months ago. Clearly in the uk this system would set you back around 150k. I envy you sir. The b&w 801d currently are 32k each in the uk. I cant express how insane this system is. You surely must have done alot of homework to see how well they all float together. Thank you for showing this extreme set up. Pitch perfect 😊

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the kind words! Yes it’s truly amazing to listen to, and allows me to enjoy my music like never before. And yes you are 100% right. There was a lot of time and research to get to this point, and also testing different setups and configurations before making my final decision. Do you have a HiFi setup? If yes, what gear do you have?

[@garybeaumont543]

@@PanTheOrganizer after looking into listening to my music in the best way I could and being a fond dj enthusiast I went the opposite way and decided on Devon dj6000. I know its not a good way to go but my dj gear with the mixer and monitor speakers means I can sit and try and mix the un mixable. In the good old days many moons ago I had the numark cdj 1000, ppd mixer, kaos pad 2 and a kork electribe with valves in a window. The set up I have now is no where as good as what I'd like and if money was no issue my dream set up is very similar to what you have. Mcintosh are the bees knees. I'm currently out shopping my friend but once home will see what gear I have set up and let you know. To me your the god of audio! Thank you for letting me see the perfect pitch!

I believe those monoblock amps are 50k, each. Sweet setup. No vinyl though?

[@mattwright6249]

What a dream come true. Locally in Ontario we have a shop called Natural Sound. I have spent a lot of days dreaming inside that store. I have purchased Klipsch equipment there more than once in the past because it is really all I can afford. This setup is what dreams are made of. I think for me, I would first need to move into the country a few kilometers away to really be able to enjoy something like this guilt free. Sometimes I feel sorry for my neighbors using my Klipsch gear like I really want to even though we are all single detached homes here. I need to buckle down and work harder, set some goals and obtain something like this while I am capable.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing Matt. And I agree with you, hard work pays off. 👍🏻

[@relevantinformation6655]

Hi, is there a certain decibel level that feels, for lack of a better term, optimally balanced for each type of music? Ie, do you have to crank it up to get balance? Amazing system !

[@jeffreysabo3122]

Pan this is incredible and my dream set up to the T. I love Bowers and Wilkins. I currently have the Definitive Technology Bipolar speaker set up on my Pioneer Elite Receiver. I also have an all Focal Flax 550 Component and Focal Flax shallow subwoofer set up /Amplifier in my vehicle. I am a huge audio enthusiast just like you that loves all genres of music. I have to the clarity that amplifiers give just as your McIntosh set up. Love music cranked but also at low volumes with that power sounds incredible. Congrats on your set up!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Jeffrey! You’re clearly an audiophile too. Nice setup! And you are right. Even though I can crank the volume and it sounds great, I actually listen at lower volumes and this setup still allows for great definition, details, dynamics, etc.

[@stevejordan9567]

Hi Pan that’s one hell of a system you put together I can only imagine have great its sounds. I had the old B&W 801 series ll back years ago and they were very good. I currently have older equipment but it’s good. BAT VK-500 amp BAT VK-40 Pre-amp and Tallon Khorus spreaders with a Rel sub and it’s pretty darn good. Especially for what I have into it. Congratulations on the new system it’s stunning to look at and certainly sounds about as good as it gets. Simply Awesone!!!

Thanks Steve and thanks for sharing your setup too! I see that I share common passions with many of my viewers!

[@johnthebimmerman1406]

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks! Detailing doesn’t get you to that point. Detailing has never been my main source of income.

[@billa5289]

Beautiful system! I couldn't imagine having that system without an analog front end and source material. I am sure it sounds amazing, but please demo an awesome turntable with some original analog pressings of your favorite music. I can't imagine that you won't be surprised with the difference on that rig.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks. But I did multiple tests with vinyl, and although I “understand” those who love it, it’s just not for me. I even had the opportunity to do many listening sessions on a 2M system (which I featured on my channel) and that had reference material including a Kronos turntable worth several hundreds of thousands, and I still prefered listening to quanlity digital music on that setup too. A master recording DSD from an SACD or from a high res stream on Qobuz/Tidal is my preferred way. If I get a turntable one day, it will be for fun.
