B&W Custom Theater CT8.4 LCRS

Has anyone heard these speakers yet? How would they compare to other speakers in the 800 line up? Are they good at all listening levels?

Have you seen the price? I don't think they're close to the 800 series at all in terms of price... so I would HOPE that stands true in performance as well. It would be awesome to get a chance to listen to them though.

I heard they are less expensive because of the simple look and design.

Sound wise they don't match the traditional 800 series. Different designs to work in different area's. They really need to be built into to something to sound right.

Thanks for the input...that basically squashes the idea of me looking at them.

I've heard them. They are designed to be mounted into cabinets. I liked them and thought they fit well into HT. Chris Browder (from B&W) said they are comparable (to him) to N802's in sound and tonality. I'd have to A/B them to say definitively.

They were very nice sounding, but diamond's are still a b&w fan's best friend.
