Reading the graph and looking at the pretty pictures of the speakers you post does not change my listening experience of the four loudspeakers.
With due respect you are being silly...how do you know that I have listened to none of the speakers? Secondly, I am indifferent to your preferences, what get's my goat is your constant jarring commentary that somehow the Bowers & Wilkins 800 series are unsuitable as studio monitors and are only in studios because Bowers&Wilkins gives them away for free.

The fact of the matter is that nobody in their right mind will monitor a large orchestra recording on either an Audio Note E or a Quad 2905 because of their dynamic and bass limitations, they are domestic audio speakers. And listening to either speaker in your dealer's shop will not tell you how well they will perform in a large recording studio. Going on to claim that recording engineers that use B&Ws somehow do not know good sound and put out poor recordings is a tad tasteless and uncalled for, IMO.

I am not interested in changing your listening experience nor preferences. And those pesky numbers would immediately tell you that neither the Audio Note E nor Quad 2905 are suitable as classical music studio monitors.
