Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?


I see a lot of negative commentary on B&W. Why? Are they overpriced? Do they not sound as amazing as they look? Are they too “main stream”? - I love my 805 d3’s but curious why they get such a bad rep.

yes new b$w are overpriced but they are exceptional speakers in all respects,as a former owner of 802 d’s ,now focal 1038 Be’s I will be looking to pick up a set of 800 d2 ‘s soon ,mainly because my wife and son (25 y) miss them a lot.in mho I would look for the 800 d series that are 2-5 years old. Most people who pay the new price keep excellent care of them and are like new in most cases .
