Wow, those are quite a departure from the looks of their usual offerings. They look pretty slick. I wonder when they'll be in at dealers. I'd love to just go look at 'em.

Look is all I will be able to do. I am sure the cost is through the roof.

Agreed. I spent a little time reading about each one, and in terms of the materials/technolgy they're using for them, they certainly aren't on the lower end of B&W offerings. Pretty neat stuff.

i don't want to go over 100,000 so what would you use for rears.

and the sub looks to cheap for that set up. do they have a better sub.

 

[MACCA350]

I believe that separate sub is a passive design. I'd buy speakers from them but not the sub, go to a company that specialize in subs. For the price of their subs you can buy better.
