Fear...surprise...and an almost fanatical devotion to B&W.
No surprise, actually. There’s a reason (or many reasons) that B&W have been the standard monitors for DGG and a host of other premiere recording labels for decades. The 801s are going to be hard to beat. But then, as has been said already, taste in speakers is highly personal.
FWIW (which won’t be much), I have never found a speaker I prefer to my Scientific Fidelity Teslas, built in 1992 and restored twice since by Millersound. I’ve had B&Ws in my listening room for a week; own Von Schweikert VR4 Jrs, PSB Synchrony Ones, Revel F208s, a pair of Maggies.... I’ve also auditioned various others, again in my own space. A friend writes reviews for Stereophile, and I’ve heard some amazing things at his place (Vivid Giyas; MBL Radialstrahlers). But I always come back to the Teslas.
Your rig must sound superb. Maybe its time to return to the music; that’s what the tools are for.
