Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?

Negative Commentary? ...Seriously? It’s Audiogon; C’mon Man - perhaps the most complicated and comprehensive place where opinions fly by faster than the jet fighters. B&W’s make good products and have been a hot topic on this forum from the extreme to the absurd. “Does your 805 sound great to Y-O-U?” ...are you having Fun?  ...do you enjoy the hobby? 
Only you can answer this. 
“Me?”...changed from B&W (805) to Joseph Audio and I’m doing jumping jacks of joy. Thinking about Harbeth might be nice too. 
Happiness Abounds. 

Used Nautilus 802's are not overpriced! I like them better than all the 802 iterations that have come since!

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 .

Maybe I missed it but B&W value compared to what?  I enjoyed B&W speakers for many years finishing with Nautilus 800s.  Then switched to Wilson, which I much preferred. At my dealer recently heard the new 800D3s and was not impressed, you could hear each driver.  Came back in a couple of weeks after the speakers were well broken in and the were impressive to say the least.  At much less cost than my Wilsons or the dealers Magico offerings.  So, compared to the upper end brands they are surprising good.  

@wrenth Agree. All high end Audio gear is way overpriced, a rich mans hobby like a Mopar collector.
