this b&w series (as well as the 3 and the 6 series) all sound muddy and un-
involved. I would not consider it. in the b&w family, only consider the 8
series.
at this price range, i would get a brand new pair of Silverline Minuet
without a question. http://www.silverlineaudio.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News
Its a very easy speaker in terms of placement and performance. of course, it
is also very affordable.
