I have actually used the XT4s with the Rb 1080 and can say that it is a good combination. I would however have some hesitation about the RMB 1066 for the center and surrounds. The RMB 1066 is intended more to be a distribution amplifier than a system amplifier. You would probably be better off with an RMB 1075 for everything or as a good option, use an RMB 1077 for everything.

Ive had a 7.2 XT sytem: 2 XT4; 4 XT2; XTC; 2 PV1 all driven by a 1080 and a 1095 all for 3 years going. The only thing I have swapped was a 1068 for a 1069 and a sony BDP2000es for a 5000es. I yet have to hear a better sytem anywhere since I don't know anyone with a full 800 series system (not even dealers ) The quality and amount of sound is simply staggering. Now that I'm fully HD, I don't see myself upgrading anything for the foreseeable future except in case of component failure. As far as audio or video is concerned I'M DONE :T
BTW for those still on the fence about bluray, the 5000 ES is it. No compromises in any arena, perfect video and sound, that now covers all codecs (internal decoding or bitstream). Plus, it's finally adroit at the old bluray irritants, loads fast, updates directly from the internet, doesn't hang up, etc, etc, finally a BD player that seems like a fully baked product rather than a work in progress. The only reason for waiting now is to have all those goodies at a cheaper price.
One thing to note: All this gear, including the top of the line 50in elite plasma costs about the same as than a pair of 801D's. I call that the deal of the century! :B- Bottom

I now have my XT/4/2/c and pv1 hooked up to the classe 5200 and ssp-800 and think that the sound is awesome. Does anyone think there's much difference in sound quality between XTs and low end 800 series i.e. aluminium dome tweeter series? Where does B&W place the XTs in their line up? Just below the 800s?- Bottom
