Chris,
Don't take me wrong, I'm a loyal owner of Klipsch. What was the B & W speakers being driven by?
I ask this because I auditioned the B & W 802's on a Denon 5800 that sounded weak and lacking. We then drove them with a Yamaha 200 wpc amp (certainly a good amp but not a top line amp) and they sounded incredible. It actually made me change my mind from the purchase of the 5800 and go with external amps on a onkyo unit. Couldn't be happier.
BTW, I would have those B & W's in a minute if I could lay down $8,000 for a pair.
Until then I will be more than pleased (excited )with my Klipsch setup.
