I dislike B&W speakers. The ones I've heard -- even the top of the line -- have always sounded boxy and congested. I doubt they take much pride in their products, because the company has been around for a long time and has not achieved much. They spend a lot on marketing, though, and therefore sell lots of speakers. Just my experience.

celto, Audio Classics in Binghamton NY sells Mac speakers, so you may want to contact them. I bought a pair of Quad 2905's from them a while ago and they told me that my Quad's out performed any other pair of speakers they've carried including the MacIntosh.Aside from the various other Quad options, I'd suggest looking at a pair of Monitor Audio with ribbon tweeters. For the money they are well regarded and I've heard great things about their Platinum series.
