The B&W Matrix 800 - a loudspeaker that will impress even the most critical listeners. We acquired this pair in need of a tweeter, and used the opportunity to upgrade: Satori Beryllium. On first listen, we were absolutely floored. Handily among the most accurate loudspeakers we've ever heard, with delicate highs, full midrange, and thunderous lows. Although they've shed their grilles long ago, we've meticulously refinished the original rosewood cabinets - you will not find another pair this nice.
