    I reckon he should have them set up a touch further apart... ;-)

    Perhaps it's a very small room :D.

    I wonder if they sound better than Ruark Broadswords... ;)

    Cheers

    Maybe it's time for a "Black Ash" revival...

    woooooooooooow I havent seen those in a long time. We had a set of those out when i just started but they had to be sent back to b&w because people kept poking in the tweeter no matter what signs were placed on them.

    And yes they sound and look very special, you need to see them in real life to really appreciate them.

    Tell me about it, Julian :( .

    But has anybody actually heard a pair, or the standmount version for that matter ?

    I understand that the standmounts have a seperately boxed cross-over network. Judging by the linked advert, it would appear that floorstanding version keeps the cross-over internal :confused:.

    Just a shame that the beautiful laquer doesn't extend to the inside where, judging by the photos, it's exposed MDF :rolleyes: .

    I WANT A PAIR !!!!!!

    Surely, that's the internal wadding you can see, not MDF.

    Timpy, as far as I know, B&W have always used charcoal/black wadding in their speakers.

    I know my CDM7's have exposed MDF on the inside [viewable through the ports]. I'm just a bit surprised that their [older] Signature model would have this as well.
