B&W do have a house sound that is to some peoples taste but not others. The best bet is to try them in your system and in your own home. They can be a little bass heavy and slightly subdued in the midrange. Only the 800 series are made in the UK now which is a shame. They have always been pretty good value for money. They are about as far as you can get from a pair of SX3s though. I have had 800 (802) series in my room which is pretty big (28' x 18') and they boomed even with a big amp behind them. I think the ATC are much better price for price. In the end I craved for something with better midrange and less bass. The Elex-R is a good amp but I wouldn't go anywhere near 800 series with one. 800 series need current and lots of it.
