I say most people cannot HEAR the difference, but they might FEEL the difference.

If I am sitting in my HT room looking at some B&W 800 Diamonds and big bad Bryston amps that give me that warm fuzzy feeling, I am going to FEEL the difference.

Count me in!

Hehe. Never know. R2D2 might have been the muse for the B&W 800’s design.

I also love the significant curvature of the cabinet, instead of the so-often squarish boxy speakers. I assume the building process of the B&W 800’s tremendous curvature takes significantly more time and effort than all the other boxy cabinets - all the wood bending that occurs.

It reminds me of my Study Room, which has a rounded section, instead of a rectangular room.

Yet with this AV 10 the string sections are totally realistic.

Speaking of the AV10, it’s selling like hotcakes even with the huge price increase.

As soon as you got your AV10, it sold out quickly and went on backorder again. I placed an order for a client 2 weeks ago.

I just spoke to the SU Director of Sales to inquire about my order. He assured me my order is being shipped to me. Basically every single AV10 that just came in on shipment was already allocated to an order. So the moment the shipment arrived, the Inventory went from Zero back to Zero.

Can’t even keep up the DEMANDS. Selling like hotcakes.

I am definitely not a good business person, so if I owned SU, I would make a ton of AV10 units and offer a 20-YEAR warranty like Bryston does for their amps. That might make me a bad business person, but that’s what I would do.
