| Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit? "10-12-15: TompoodieTitle of my post should be Bowers and Wilkins...so used to just calling them B & W. Oops."They still suck either way. | |

| Studio 100 v.5 versus Mirage M3si I guess it would depend on what you mean when you say critical listening? | |
