Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?

If you love your 805D3, then it shouldn’t matter what others think of the brand unless you are second guessing your purchase.

IMO, they are not overpriced. I’ve enjoyed B&W speakers for 15 plus years, they are wonderful sounding speakers, well designed and built.

Enjoy!

One thing I will say, the 804 d3 is the most beautiful speaker I have seen. Overpriced? Only you can answer that, to me they are not.

some components seem to have more extreme responses than others...some love the B&W sound, some not at all...I think Magnepans and Vandersteens are similar in that regard...all great speakers if you like them...I don't particularly prefer B&W but don't think they are any more or less overpriced, or overall have a "bad" rep...

For the record, I’m not looking for a stamp of approval nor am I second guessing my purchase. Just interested in multiple views on the product/brand.
