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.

I do not believe B&W are overpriced for what they have to offer. I have auditioned B&W since the early 90s, hearing plenty of the 800 diamond series over the years. I still own some little old 302s.

I seriously considered the 802D or 800Ds with long auditioning but that tweeter was simply too much for me. Still a great speaker but you need to like the sound, or tame it down with the electronics.

B&W is a class act in my book. Regardless of house sound, some like and some not so much, I have always suggested B&W to others, for good sound and for good value.
