@mark200mph, that's funny. My dad was an avid fly fisherman and Detroit Tiger fan. We buried him with his Tiger baseball hat on and fishing vest and flyrod. Lots of smiles over that.
Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market?
I live outside of the Denver area, so my Facebook Marketplace (among other sites) draws from the Colorado front range cities. So why do I see so many B&W loudspeakers being up for resale? Is it just that Listen Up has been a dealer for decades and the market has sold so many previously? Or is there an inherent problem that wears thin on the listener that they seek something better? I mainly see the 700 series, in different sizes and series, but CM9's etc. I'm just curious b/c I plan on moving to a new house in the next year and want to have a dedicated listening room, hopefully under $10K for the source, amp & speakers. I already have a nice analog set up to incorporate into it.

according to speakerchoices.com, B&W is the largest/best selling speaker company - in revenue possibly only surpassed by Klipsch |
I had B&W CM6 S2, paired with a Rotel, so the "proper" pairing, as recommended by local high end shop. Once I got the Pearlacoustics Sibelius, the B&W did not sound particular treble forward, but rather had bloated smeary mids. I think B&W is pushed to many new people. Might be because shops make a good profit off them? At any rate, I think they are overpriced and underperform. So I traded in my CM6 towards a Pass XA25. Very happy with that combo. |
