Hi Exsg,
I am, as others are here, a Sonus fan, but I know that the B&W are fine speakers as well. I would just caution you not to draw any conclusions from YouTube videos. There is no way to know anything about the quality of the setup, the condition of any of the equipment, the quality of the microphone, the position of the mic, the room acoustics, the quality of the recording, the biases of the person posting the video, etc., let alone the quality of the playback of a compressed YouTube feed listened to on a computer or mobile device. It's a bit like watching a video of someone eating a gourmet dish and trying to conclude how it will taste to you, or drawing conclusions about a dog breed by watching someone's video of their pet.

As others have said, try to hear them first in a good setup (preferably at home) with music you know, and trust your ears.
