tigerwoodKhorns Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Ok...spent a greater part of the day setting the B&W's up in my viewing/listening room . I was not anticipating such a dramatic difference in sound as compared to the Klipsch!! The B&W's are a little too laid back and casual for my palate, lacking that Klipsch forward clarity and crispness that i have come to enjoy. Have to say that it was an immediate dislike...... until i placed the two front xt4's them in my living room (no wife factor) where I was able to space them out a little more giving them a little more breathing room and sound stage (vaulted ceiling). They seemed to open up a little bit more on the high end and not sound so muddy in the low range. I think the were just too much speaker for the size of my listening room but are well suited for the more open area of my living room. None the less....Klipsch sound still reigns supreme to my aging ears. My Klipsch seem to engage me in the music while the B&W's lull me.......and that's ok.... You can't ask for anything more. You got to try them out at home and did not like them. Easy decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 You probably would be a good candidate for the Icon W series, slim towers, tons of WAF and an awesome open sound. The good thing is you can sell the B&W set and get something else used! or new....depends on how much you get haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Oh, I didn't catch that. The OP said he didn't like the B&Ws. I didn;t take any offense, I thought it was funny. I need to thin the herd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Seriously, look into Heritage Series. Then you'll be able to enjoy your music and movies without wondering how much better they'd sound with better speakers, because you'll have better speakers right there in your room!
