Errr...not to interrupt your ignorant rant, but the B&O speakers are
active, biamped speakers.

But I understand, B&O will be hard for people working at WalMart and
McDonalds to afford, you actually have to be successful and have a sense
of style and taste to want them.

And do they sound good? The B&O systems I've come across have been
ovbiviously design-led (and I don't mean audio design:-). One has to
suspect they're idiosyncratic for the sake of it, not because an
engineer made a breakthrough that column speakers actually SOUNDED
better?
