Well I guess I finally can call myself an official member here. I unpacked my new XT4s this afternoon. I purchased them for my study library. All the new built in furniture made it impossible to fit my beloved Klipsch Chorus II in the room so it was time for something that could make a substantial audio presence without having huge physical dimensions. There are a lot of possibilities out there, but I chose the XT4 for several reasons. One of the most important was that I am contemplating a move to 802Ds from my Klipsch RF7. The sound character of B&W speakers is so so different from Klipsch that I needed to be sure I can live with the differences before plinking down about 20 grand for a surround setup featuring 802Ds.
Unfortunatly, my study libray is still about two weeks from being complete construction wise, due mostly to hurricane Wilma. So, it was either leave the XT4s in their boxes in the garage, or set them up in the family room/theater. Being the respectable audioholic that I am, which do you think I chose???...lol
Although the XT4 are not really designed for big rooms (my FR is in excess of 7K cubic ft), they are doing a credible job of filling the room with quality sound. I won't comment any further till they can get some mileage and loosten up a bit.
