B&W exposed tweeter on top design....

to my ears...B&W really doesnt become "B&W" until one hits the tweeter on top range...unfortunately this has not trickled down...the new 705 retails for $1500...and prior to this model...the most affordable option was found in the top of the line model for the cdm series...for around $1200(maybe less)...at any rate...just my .02,,..

Great response Eldartford...this is really the heart of my initial question...although I failed to include it...at any rate...I feel exposed tweeter designs...or good ones at least...truly due benefit from the additional "air" and "open" qualities...any other thoughts...also...didnt Swan have a tweeter on top design a few years back...thanks...

Marketing aside...what are the opinions based on the end result of exposed tweeter designs, etc...my only experience has been with the B&W line...and yes B&W does set itself for criticism(which Eladarford touched upon...B&W probably has the largest marketing budget in the world)...is they due sound good...are they the best in their price class? thats the question...
