What do you think of the B&W 700 series, Pat D?? I listened to the 703's, the biggest model, and their midrange was way too projected but the things imaged like the dickens and had nicer bass the the Studio 100 v3's. Did I mention they LOOK 100X better too??
I've read reviews that noticed the same thing about the B&W's that I noticed as well. They said something about a peak around 4KHz. I'm going to audition the 704 which is basically the same as the 703 except for its a 2.5 way vs. an all out 3 way. Some reviewers have said that the 704 is ever so slightly shut in around the midband which is probably what I'll like about 'em. The only question I have is why there's 2 ports in the cabinet. 1 in front 1 in back. What do you think?

I heard the version 3 of the Studio 100 a little, though I spent most of my time in that store listening to the Signature 8--even though the one I might buy would most likely be the Signature 2. I found the Studio 100 to be quite a nice speaker but a little colored, certainly by comparison with the Signature 8. But I liked the Studio 100 and it has long been a really good value.
