What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers


What do you guys think of B&W speakers. Specifically, the 800 series diamond line. What are their strengths and weakness? I know I will get quite a few different opinions on this subject. If you had 8 to 10k to spend on a pair of towers, what would you choose? I prefer to buy new so, for the sake of this discussion to new retail products only and stay away from used. I have listened to the B&W 804 diamond quite a bit. I don't have any high end dealers near me but, I can make a drive to audition some brands within an hours drive. What should I sit down to listen to in this price range?

have heard the 802D and found it to be overly warm and not especially detailed or open

I am not a big B&W fan and this did not change my mind...

I like the blanket analogy, the speaker never opens up, the music does not fly out...

we have beaten this horse to death...
