Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market?


I live outside of the Denver area, so my Facebook Marketplace (among other sites) draws from the Colorado front range cities. So why do I see so many B&W loudspeakers being up for resale? Is it just that Listen Up has been a dealer for decades and the market has sold so many previously? Or is there an inherent problem that wears thin on the listener that they seek something better? I mainly see the 700 series, in different sizes and series, but CM9's etc. I'm just curious b/c I plan on moving to a new house in the next year and want to have a dedicated listening room, hopefully under $10K for the source, amp & speakers. I already have a nice analog set up to incorporate into it.

B&W sells A LOT of speakers here in the states. Maybe they offer a higher mark up to their venders, but they are everywhere! They are most always powered by Mac in said stores and if you don’t use an amplifier that quiets down those tweeters, you might have issues with brightness.

Just my 2c.
