I really like the looks of the new BMRs. I was worried they might be too red based on the photos I had seen, but they are very nice in real life. In a serendipitous twist, I had remodeled with wood trim having a reddish stain before the BMRs became available. It looks like it was planned.
But, realistically, the sound is much more important than the appearance, and I’m very impressed. I had high expectations which normally tends to lead to some dissatisfaction for me, but that was not the case with the BMRs, which actually exceeded my expectations.
Yeah, I know, I sound like a slobbering fan boy again but these speakers have earned the “slobbering fan boy” status from me!
