Paul and Charles +1. I also feel the same as you Charles.
Having said that I disagree with Bo WHEN it comes to the LACK of the B&W 800-802 D series speakers to have a 3D stage, width and depth. Besides owning a pair, I have heard them in MANY different systems and WHEN set up properly, per Paul's post, they have a fine 3D stage, etc.
Also Bo seems to go out of his way to bash B&W wherever and whenever he can. Bo, the latest D series has a total upgrade to the parts, including wiring, of the crossover.
I have heard the speaker brand you tout and while it is a fine speaker, IMHO, it is not any better then the brand you criticize.
