| Speakers : Who uses What ? Hard to tell. Most of the better manufacturers make their own drivers; they are not in the box enclosure business. I am sure B&W makes their own drivers. | |
| Is B&W A Reputable Company You can trust B&W as a company. | |
| What do I need to choose ??? Help needed Mega Dittos on both recommendations above. In the budget audiophile area, B&W speakers are hard to beat for the price and please almost everyone. I would lean towards the Onkyo Receiver for reliability reasons (Kenwood is OK) and resale later ... | |
