I think that I am beginning to understand...this thread is really ticking off owners. I had not anticipated that (perhaps because I also own a set of these speakers). I sometimes forget...that I have an extreme love of music that overides brand loyalties and loyalty to any one idea, set of ideas, or design techniques. Not everyone loves music to this degree. I sometimes overlook the fact that accurate instrumental timbre, the accurate timbre of the human voice...these things may not be as important to others as they are to me. I almost regret having started the discussion (or having joined it). Almost.

If its any consolation, very few speakers produce accurate timbre. Most speakers are designed pretty much the same way and they all struggle with the kind of issues that I have highlighted with these B&W designs. I do believe that speakers in general can be better, but I accept that the majority are good enough for most people. Perhaps...this extreme concern on my part for accurate timbre and accuracy period...sets me apart. I am not an equipment-phile, so much as a music-phile. I accept that I am probably a small minority. To each his own.
