So what would be your 1st pick?

I like the Wilson Sabrina but they are out of my price range

I just received a 0% for 18 months deal from my card this weekend. Is it a sign? it has to be.

My card is 0% for 36 months... so the 804D3 might have to be bought.

I could do with a deal like that. My dear daughter keeps raiding my audio upgrade budget. OK, I keep letting her...

That pretty much succinctly captures my situation regarding things I'd prefer to own.

As the Wilsons are more than I can afford, and my B&W dealer is really working with me.
I put a deposit on a pair of B&W803d3s in black.

The dealer has them in stock, I just have to find the time to drive to Montreal and pick them up.

Adding pics of the matching center HTM2 D3. Dialogue seems clearer and easier to understand. I will post more impressions after break in.

I think the Wilson Sabrina and B&W 803D3 are about the same price, $16k. Has anyone done an A/B comparison between them? (I mean almost an immediate comparison, not between two different stores with different electronics and room acoustics.)
