Advantages: Sound quality and looks. Disadvantages: Maybe would be better as wireless.
Having watched B&W gain in popularity over many years (I remember when they started), This model is something else. Passive speakers are my choice and need to be used properly, Not for the head bangers, moreb for the person who appreciates quaily music and therefore, quaility equipment.
Connection is no problem, although wireless would be nice.
However, they look great and deliver on all aspects.
Maybe a trifle costly, but when you usnderstand the quality of reproduction, then they are not expensive.
The overall projection of quality sound is tremendous.
I have always found B&W equipment extremely good quailty and value for money.
Keep it up B&W, I shall be looking at moving up to the larger range I have seen in the catalogue. ...

The foot print and look were some of the most important factors in my decision to purchase followed by the quality and reputation B&W manage to maintain. Without the metal feet the base seems smaller and could be knocked over, watch out for parties. Although slim there are 2 bass cones which ...
