Not being very familiar with B&W's maybe I'm not very qualified to respond but thought I would anyway because I to feel the B&W's aren't all that. Some years ago I heard a pair of floor standing B&W's in a home then months later some smaller ones at a dealer. Don't know the model numbers/names but the big ones sounded dreadful to me. The midrange screamed like bad out of phase midrange horns too small to handle the mids. Kind of a gargle/crackle, close yet distant phasy sound and I couldn't take more than a minute of listening. The smaller B&W's were ho hum and the salesman neglected to tell me he had a subwoofer on until I asked how B&W got such good bass from such a small cabinet. The subwoofer went off and the B&W's alone didn't have much bass, or anything else for that matter. I figured to each their own and I'm not in a rush to hear a B&W again.
