KEF Blade 2

Where the hell did the Sopra 3 thing come from, and why didn’t u include that in ur original post??? Joseph Audio speakers kick the crap outta B&Ws. I’ve heard them head to head. No comparison. Do what u will.  I’m out. 

Odds are if you've had the 802d's awhile you're used to their tonal balance changing brands will probably sound off regardless of the brand.

That is total bullcrap.  I’ve listened to B&Ws and Joseph Audio speakers in the same system, and the B&Ws sound broken next to the JAs.  It’s not even close.  My guess is B&W don’t know how to design a crossover, but that’s just my guess cause the rest of their parts are great.  Once you hear JA speakers you’d NEVER buy B&W.  Just my personal experience. 

soix, I'm not suggesting the b&w are better than anything. I'm sayin' if he liked them enough to buy them and owm em for awhile their sound has become his benchmark and more natural sounding speakers will probably sound dull or just a little off to him.
