Smjason calls the Fidelios coherent and I have to agree in spades. FWIW I would choose the Veritys myself without a moment's hesitation. If I could afford them, I would have them now instead of my Shearwater HRs. I respect B&W speakers but they have never seemed to me to transmit as much life as several other manufacturers' products at the same price level. I feel it's almost a shame to compare them to the Fidelios, the Verity products sound so much better. Your biwire configuration is a small price to pay, IMHO.
