Me too. Did you get a chance to hear the B&W 803D3's, Kharma's (on the 35th floor), Raidho's and some others? Would love to hear your thoughts on the show too. Favorites, biggest surprises and any disappointments.

Hmm...Cliff Notes version...didn't hear the B&Ws (never liked their presentation so I skipped it), didn't hear the Raidhos, loved the big Kharmas in the Lamm room, enjoyed the Verity Audio Sarastros on Zanden electronics and the mbl 101e mkIIs on mbl electronics. Disappointments? Many. But I'd rather keep my opinions about those to myself.

I heard the new B&W line-up when they were launched in Europe. The tweeter is not too shabby, although it sticks out a bit, and all-in-all I find their sound a bit rough. In my very personal view they are what they have always been: the world's greatest loudspeaker marketing-story, typically way overrated (the previous generation was the world's best selling line-up). And unfortunately the new models look a bit like they had gone to design school at Wharfedale of the past.
