The definition of reputable is:1.adj[worthy of esteem or deference] Synonyms, respectable, creditable, estimable, reputed, well-thought-of. Near Synonyms, honorable, worthy. If you are actually asking these questions about B&W, the answer is YES, they are all of these things! If you are asking for opinions about the performance of B&W compared to other speakers, I do prefer B&W, when compared to Avalon or Martin Logan. I cannot say the same if you wish to add Soundlab, Magnaplaner, and Quad.
