Ive heard the Signature 800's before. Love em or hate em they are some DANG nice sounding speakers. a little out of my price range though.
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
if the day ever comes that i have that kind of money to burn,those b&ws WILL be in my house!they sound awesome
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.
FORD-I COULDNT CARE LESS ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF CLASS SOMEONE IS TRYING TO SHOW WITH A PAIR OF SPEAKERS,BUT THOSE B&WS BLEW ME AWAY WHEN I HEARD THEM,IVE HEARD MORE EXPENSIVE SPEAKERS,BUT THOSE WERE THE NICEST ONES IVE HEARD,TOTALY DISSAPEARED IN THE ROOM....LET ME CHECK MY LOTTERY NUMBERS NOW
