Congrats on an excellent pair of speakers! What you heard is exactly why I’m not a fan of B&W speakers — it’s a sound I can certainly respect and appreciate for what it is, but I don’t love it like I love several others. I just happened on this mini review by Jeff Fritz at Soundstage who made these his reference speakers. If I’m not mistaken I believe his prior reference was the Vimberg Tonda that’s well over twice the price and a much bigger speaker, so this is quite a statement and endorsement. Enjoy your new gems!
