B&W Zeppelin Wireless Speaker ( I bought one used recently)
Checking in to get some thoughts and feedback from people who own a Zeppelin (or have an opinion anyway...it's all good!) I paid about $300. I think this model is from about 2015. Seems perfect on the exterior. No blemishes. Sounds quite good. Very broad sound. Nice detailed sound. I...- TedNeu

Phase tech pc 60 original vs b&w dm500
I have a pair of phase tech pc60s original. It needs a bit of TLC (refoam and recap). Someone is selling a pair of b&w dm500. It's in excellent condition. I have yet to listen to it because it's a 40min drive...but I saw a video. I'm wondering if I should: A) spend the time to fix up my pc60... -

Help me choose between Vandersteen 2c or Bowers and Wilkins DM640
Looking for an upgrade from my current speakers, DCM Tf-600s, and found both of these speakers for about the same price and distance. I’m planning on driving them in a smallish medium sized room with my Yamaha AX-900 (130 wpc) so power is no issue for me. Room is somewhat oddly shaped, kind of... -

Bowers & Wilkins... anybody noticed this?
I've got 3 pair of B&W speakers. The 805S and the CDM1 SE both have stationary dust caps (they don't move when the speaker diaphragm does). The diaphragms move in and out around them. It's very cool to watch. And I've noticed that the dust cap on the CDM1 SE can be grabbed (gently) and... -
Bowers & Wilkins side by side comparison
Just had an opportunity to compare the 805S against the CDM1 Special Edition Bought a used pair of 805S's last week. I hate these speakers! I hate them because they make all my other speakers obsolete. My God the clarity and sound stage is staggering. I pair them with a M&K dual 12" sub... -

Parallel-mono operation: why aren't many amps able to do it? What are the downsides?
Bridging seems to adversely affect an amplifier's capability to drive low impedance load. An amplifier rated to drive a 2 ohm stereo load (2 ohms on each channel) is only going to be able to drive a 4 ohm (or higher) bridge-mono load. A 2 ohm bridge-mono load will more than likely destroy the...- Kreshna
