Well after negotiating with my wife some time ago about getting no compromise tower speakers by getting a custom cabinet built that could hide them, the B&W's arrive and she remarks: "Did you know that these would look so good? We don't need to hide these!"
I got 2x802D's, 1xHTM2D, 1xASW825 in rosenut. They still have a place within a cabinet, but the 802D's roll out. But the cabinet fronts, that I was going to cover with acoustic cloth, she now says are not necessary - the speakers are too handsome to cover up.
So, in the end, it turned out better than I could have hoped.
She also loves the McIntosh amps (3x501 monoblocks, 1x252). The piano black, blue light glow of the meters, don't have to cover them up either.
That's the good news. The bad news is the Anthem D2 pre/processor with all its bells and whistles, the video quit after 15 minutes of use, never to return. So I now am in the process of the pursuing a replacement unit.
