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.
