B&W vs JM Lab


I have seen two threads, one pitting the Mezzo Utopia against the N802, and one the Utopia against the N800. In both, JM Lab seems to come out tops, with one comments even saying the B&W people should be credited for their marketing skills to get their speakers so well known! Will B&W speakers owners come out in defense?

I too had the Nautilus 805's as well as an HTM-1. While I always loved listening to them and I never had a problem with them, the first time I heard the JMlab speakers I knew I had to make the change. I sold all my B&W stuff and got a pair of JMlab Electra 906's and an Electra 901CC. My new JMlab stuff, to me sounds better in everyway as compared to my old 805's. I just wish I could have afforded to go with the Mini-Utopia, cause that was even better, of course like you said it should be for the extra cost. The 906's run at 2k a pair while the Mini-Utopia's run at 7k a pair. Interesting note, the magazine Absolute Sound is going to be putting up the Electra 906's as there speaker of the year in one of their upcoming magazines.
