[QUOTE="Atjan, post: 202368, member: 2323"] I was a bit flabbergasted after a friend auditioned a set of B&W CM8 vs MA RX8 last Friday. It was done on the same system in the same room with the same material. In his opinion the MA's were too bright and the B&W's had nicely controlled bass and not nearly as bright as the MA's. I was surprised as I own a set of MA's (admittedly B2's which are now 3 generations old) and I thought they sounded just great and not bright at all. B&W on the other hand has a bit of a reputation (deservedly or not I can't say as I haven't heard so many) of being fairly bright. Anyway, moral of the story - see if you can get to a place that will be willing to let you have a listen to both brands. BTW - he went to Remedytec in Alberton. (Judy - I'll collect my commission later. :whistler:) [/QUOTE]
