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.

Reading all the 800 series posts has me drooling.  I have a pair of 792 S2’s paired with a Naim Uniti Star with Naim Naca 5 speaker cables and absolutely love them!!! I’m sure a pair of 800 series speakers would only be even more incredible and certainly their more curved nature are beautiful.  For the money though, the 702 S2’s are worth every penny.  Some dis the 700 Series for not being made in England, but they sound incredible nonetheless!!
