Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?

I think the biggest flaw in some B&W speakers is the fact that they seem to be staring at you. They may sound great...still...I want my privacy...

@dill you fuckin crack me up 

Never forget rule #1: Never listen to kenjit .... 
 and 
But James, Macintosh doesn't make amps, McIntosh does.
How do you like them apples .... 😀 

Pure Classic 

and I do have B&W , Klipsch, Celestion, Monitor Audio and Sonus Faber I love them all for different reasons  

There is no bad speaker if YOU enjoy listening to them 

Is the screening process broken again?

Love your screen name firberger     😁

"and I do have B&W , Klipsch, Celestion, Monitor Audio and Sonus Faber I love them all for different reasons "

and that is the way it is supposed to be ... 👍

We are confusing price with perceived value, which is subjective.

If a product is over priced, then the secondary market will discount the product to the appropriate price point. Efficient markets actually work!

I have zero idea how these speakers fare in the secondary market, but that is where you will know their true value.

Let’s not confuse personal opinion regarding their sound versus the real pricing data.

Someone care to share what their secondary market value is for 2 or 3 year old models in pristine condition, please.
