Damn! It must be nice to have that kind of cash flow. Then again, I have other priorities.
Maybe in my next life

No kidding. Life styles of the more money then I know what to do with crowd. That B&W set-up is the one I like. It just looks like it means business. I have to admit that for HT it probably sounds marginally better then what I run but I would love to hear it with music. I'm not bragging by saying that I just think you don't need to spend a ton to get a great HT. I have always thought the sub was the corner stone and then you build around it.
I'm a firm believer in thinking that you don't have to spend a ton of cash to get a great HT system. My Denon 3805 validated that for me once again. A good stereo set-up however has always been a bit more of a challenge

I really do love those B&W speakers. But for the price of a surround in Signature 800's, I can put a very nice down payment on some land. Or buy an Audi. Or just travel the world for three years.
I'll pass on the Signature 800's

I'm sorry but that stuff (both examples) seems to scream "look at me", real class is much more subtle.

FordPrefect,
those speakers actually do sound very good. Just not worth thee 16k price tag, in my opinion.
I'll stick with M80's.

I have listened to the 800, 801 & 802. The 802 sounded the best in a regular rize room. I think the 800 & 801 suited big big rooms.
