The latest Home Theater magazine Vol. 12, No. 10, October 2005, has a review of the B&W 803Ds, w/HTM2D center, DS8S surrounds, and ASW825 sub. They use a 100-point rating scale in several categories. They rate the 803Ds and 5.1 system as 97 points for performance, 98 points for build quality, and 96 points overall (I don't recall a higher total rating on anything they have reviewed).
The last three sentences of the review say it all:
"These speakers are a prime example of the successful manifestation of build and design principle into sonic reality in the listening room. But the pure enjoyment and excitement that this system delivered is probably the ultimate compliment I can pay it. This B&W system was as enveloping, exhilarating, and flat-out enjoyable as any speaker system I've ever heard."
My only question - does anybody have $17,500 USD they can spare? I promise that I'll put it to very good use. :W
