Does anyone know why the Absolute Sound review, including the comment by Harley, says these speakers were less than 7K, and all of a sudden, they cost closer to 10K? What's the deal here?
Wilson W/P 5.1 vs B&W N802
I'm considering one of these two (used) Speakers. My budget is $6K (max). The room is 20'x26'x10'(H) with good acoustics.
I have 2 local Dealers that carry both Wilson and B&W, both insist that the W/P 5.1 is a much better Speaker then the N802 with no comparison between the two. In 1999 B&W launched the N802 and Wilson replaced the W/P 5.1 (6).
I've heard and liked both in the past, (not at the same time, no A vs B).
Are the Dealers right? should I forget abount the N802 and focus my search on the W/P 5.1? Is this a no-brainer (at this price range-between these 2-models)?
Both models appear often enough here on A-gon, so the purchase won't be a problem.
Thanks!
