best ever speakers in the world no 1 b&w ever made top brands

Sound brillant for the price! Good all-round performance leaves little more to be desired for most listeners.

Superior midrange articulation to other speakers of its class

Solid, well rounded bass performance

Excellently constructed - outstanding attention to detail in the build quality; Made in London; one can feel the quality of the parts upon first encounter.

Look beautiful, but not to the point of being distracting. They'll blend in with most peoples' decor.

The performance of the treble is grossly overshadowed by that of the midrange, and if used with the wrong equiptment/equaliser settings may lead to a harsh-sounding treble.

Certainly a good quality all-round contender for it's price; highlighted by it's articulate mid-range reproduction.

They are rather petite compared to most floor standers, but don't let that mislead you, these things pack a punch. Their lower and mid bass are impressive, being rear-ported with optional bungs included. With the bungs in place I've found the bass to drop off substantially; without, they sound well-rounded and fairly accuarate.

It's really the mid-range, and upper-mid scope that position these speakers above their like-priced competitors' counterparts. They will well and truly do justice to any acoustic music, (most) vocals; and in particular, guitar music. The woven-kevlar midrange driver is a mechanical marvel that stands out from the plastic/paper cone drivers employed by other manufacturers.

The treble is fairly sharp, accurate and precise. B&W have opted for a simple metal cone for their tweeter. They do the job pretty well, nothing astounding; they seem to shine at the higher-pitched frequencies, and work wonders for jazz music as a result. Rock, popular and orchestral music are reproduced well enough to enjoy, the superb mid-range usually distracts attention from the fairly pedestrian treble articulation.
