Wow! Can't wait to hear them!

Those speakers look awesome. Are they going to be for sale?

Mikey called dibs on the B&W's earlier today.. If Tommy sells them.

I hope to see you on Saturday Tom.-----------BILL

You are out of control Bill. I love it!!! ;D
-
I'm curious to hear ya'll impressions of the B&W's. I'll reserve my comments until then.
-
I have heard some B&W's at our local HiFi shop here - they carry both B&W and Paradigm. Granted they weren't the beauties that you have there, but the ones that were being played (I believe DM603's) against some Paradigm Studio 80's, I have to say, I personally could make out some subtle difference, but not the for the price difference! Just my $0.02 worth. Not to say the ones you are going to audition won't blow away the 603's, but the 603's aren't supposed to be a slacker either!
-
I dare say that Para-dig-em's are one of the best bangs for the buck on the market.
Maybe that's only because I own a set.
-
Only heard one set of B&W's and didn't care for the strident sound....sounds like "bought" audiophile????
-
Paradigms rule. Six Studio 20s and a CC-450 plus a Ref sub and you have a serious theater setup.
-
The Pro-Ac's stole the show.
-
I liked the B&W's. The Pro-Ac's are o.k., When I heard them they were hooked up to different systems. So, that is not a fair way to compare them.
-
I vote for the ProAcs for all around better speaker. HOWEVER, for the money, the 802's did a very nice job. They were not bright at all. The mids were tame and the bass was semi punchy.
-
Terry and I had a really nice time Saturday. Thank you Sir.
By the way are you going to post the pictures from Saturday ?
