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 they are overpriced. All speakers are.
Disagree.  I bought a pair of used 1984 Klipschorns in 2001 from audioclassics.com for $3,000.  Fair price...good deal. 

I could never had made a pair of speakers that good for the same price in research, materials, time, and effort.

Then, in 2019, I bought the Volti Audio upgrade package for the Khorns for $4,800.  I have yet to install the upgrade, but I have a feeling that it will be difficult to achieve a better sound for any price once they're dialed in.

All speakers are not overpriced.
