    ok, i have the SRS and love them so i had to hear these $8k B&W series speakers.... FOR ME... no way--technically superior but without the ability to change a mind set. In my opinion,,,, the sound should make you feel not analyze. I do not listen for things but let the rush' decide. Its easier for me to tell what I like in this manner. Of course it could be the wire, preamp, amp, ozone layer etc. but in the end {the 'hi-end' store was doing their best to make a match - B&W has a sales rep to guide them in a optimum set up?

    That being said.... I drove quite a distance to audition the 10k Summits and .... bought them! {did my best to take the floor models} -

    7 more days and they should be here. {If you have a chance... the summits need to be on your list to visit}

    Joey's system is posted over on the Logan site and Sweeeet! A pleasant suprise to see a crossover to the Polk sight.

    WOWOW!!!!

    Awesome choice there! What veneer did you pick? You gotta post pics over at the MLO site.... that's some great speakers you got there! I'm still working on my electronics as they are lagging and not showing the Summits' true potential.... soon soon. I'm glad we got another Polkie on board in the ML ship!

    The Summits are truly STUNNERS! They are that good.... set them up right and you got nirvana infront of you. I did listen to some Wilsons and those were also awesome, you shouldve auditioned the Sophia before you bought the Summits just to get the idea of whatever challengers the Summits have at that $10,000 price point. Though, I think you made the right choice regardless... hehehe....

    Which BW did you listen to? I think you listened to the 803D by the looks of the price... did you listen to the 802D? It gives up a little bit of extension to the mighty Summits' bass, but the 802D is a very formidable speaker nonetheless...

    I've been a Polk fan for a long time that even with my Summits, I still miss my LSi9 - those have to be my favorite of all time in terms of sentimental value.

    BTW, I see you got so excited that you posted twice!

    See you over at MLO.com!!
