Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?

i know this is lower end but i bought a pr of 703s2’s for a second system and find them much more musical with the new continuum midrange driver vs the older kevlar driver. They were $3500(now 4k) and I think of them as sort of a value. It’s a well designed attractive speaker that’s a floor stand model. A prudent shopper can make a very nice system using them plus a b&w subwoofer. Very much worth a listen in this price range. I didn’t care too much for the previous versions. 

Overpriced is a personal determination -- would you rather have the product or the money in your pocket?

At this point, I’d rather have the product. They make me pretty happy.

and overpriced or not, enough people love 'em that they hold their value on the used market very well...

805d3 bad rap?  Are you joking?

not all speakers appeal to everybody, who cares what people think.

they are not overpriced.  You get a lot of research and tech for the money, scales of production is in your favor.

I have the 802d3 and have enjoyed them since release.
