B&W - 704 vs Matrix 804

[sirph]

Hello. I need advice in choosing loudspeakers. I have chance to buy B&W 704 or Matrix 804 at similar price. Which of them should sound better?

Best thing would be if you were able to audition them. At what price you are getting those? Is there possibility for any other options if the price is matched? Are you planning to use them in plain stereo? 2.1? Or possibly more channels? What size of room you have and what kind of amplification you have in mind?

Most people would tell you the matrix 804 will sound better.

Oh, unequivocally.

Which generations of these models are we looking at? That could make a difference as well.

No, it won't make a difference. The matrix series is in a different class entirely and always has been.
