I liked them best overall. I tested with cds by Anita O'Day, Terence Blanchard, Terry Evans, and Rev. Horton Heat. If I only played classical and jazz I would prefer the B&W. But I have lots-o-blues and rock, so I prefer the Klipsch RF-5 so far. Easy to distinguish each instrument and vocals, yet all blended well. The B&W was somewhat fatiguing with anything that swings or rocks with vocals. The vocals were overpowering to the point of annoying. Maybe it was the equipment? I heard them at a home theater place so had no control over their system.
