BillyB,

I have owned three pairs of B&W speakers culminating in my current 800D's. Two things to remember. These speakers all take a long time to break in. You didn't say how long you have had them cooking. Second, if you find their upper end harsh, consider changing speaker cables. I have always used Transparent cables with mine and find the combination works very well. If you still don't like the sound.....www.Audiogon.com.
