Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?


I see a lot of negative commentary on B&W. Why? Are they overpriced? Do they not sound as amazing as they look? Are they too “main stream”? - I love my 805 d3’s but curious why they get such a bad rep.

Wow, did some of you get up on the wrong side. Before you buy any hi end system, get a hearing test see what you can actually hear.
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 ....

But James, Macintosh doesn't make amps, McIntosh does.

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
