While I have not spent much time at the higher end, of the B&W and Focal spectrum, they are both great speaker companies. I currently own a Nautilus 804 based setup as my reference system, and Focal Electra 905s as a channel system in my office. I personally prefer the B&W sound, but would never say that the Focal is a lesser quality speaker just a different sound. I don't think there is any other way to make this decision, you just have to listen and see what you prefer.
B&W vs FOCAL
I know that these two Companies are at the front of the current Tweeter Wars (Diamond vs Beryllium). I know that B&W sells more Speakers and that FOCAL produces more expensive Speakers (Nova & Grand Utopia), but is one generally considered to be better than the other?
I'm looking to make a High-End Speaker purchase this month and have narrowed it down to these two Manufacturers.
Owners opinions would be greatly appreciated.
