Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?

When you say tuning of upstream components, what are you referring to? Things like tube rolling? Adding an EQ? Room treatment? Thx

For the record, I’m not looking for a stamp of approval nor am I second guessing my purchase. Just interested in multiple views on the product/brand. 

At this point, I’d rather have the product. They make me pretty happy.

Yep. Makes perfect sense. I’ll admit the 805 d3 did sound a bit bright initially but since changing over to a tube power amp and tube phono stage, I’m very happy with the results. I recently picked up a Herron VPTH-2A. I truly love it. I’ve only had it a month or so and cannot find a single fault. 

That’s a bummer you can’t appreciate the diamond tweeter. It’s pretty stunning when toned down a bit with tubes. I can’t get enough!

Many audiophiles do not incorporate an EQ in their system so just adjusting the highs and lows is not an option.
