I feel like I’m the only one in about a 300 mile radius that doesn't think that the Bose wave radio is the epitome of Hi-end audio! I will definitely consider your thoughts on PMC vs. B&W, by the way what B&W floor standers were you comparing the OB1i to?
Actually I was comparing the 805s bookshelf speakers to the OB1i's!

The OB1i's are a good speaker but they didn't work well with my McIntosh set up.

It can be tough living far away from a good dealer. Many good dealers will still allow you to return the item but it doesn't make it easier if you have to bring them back or post them!

Good luck on your search.

Eddie
