Neutrality, accuracy? OK, just ask yourself first: Do you know for sure how the recording is supposed to sound? So for me euphony is all about!!! Please do yourself a favor, stop listening your gear, and begin to feel the music instead!!!

So... I don't get it. Why is B&W so popular? Do they just have good marketing?
I think it's partly the name developed over the last few decades, but they also sound pretty good. They're not my cup of tea, but I can understand why so many like them.
I remember hearing the 801s in the early 1980s, they were exceptional for the time.

Actually, with their dealer requirements, B&W speakers are not widely available or available at particularly good prices. They have, however, made excellent speakers with a particualrly pleasing sound signature for decades and they have done constant R&D to discover and incorporate new technology into advancing their speaker line.
