So, I had never heard of Bowers & Wilkins before I met my Best Buy buddies! I wound up getting 2 shelf speakers and came back a few days later for the Center. I’m very happy and back in love with my music. TV dialogue is crisp. I got a great deal, too. The ‘Magnolia Room’ experience was awesome! Thanks for all the advice, guys!

Our Magnolia rep was spot on when he suggested these B&W's. They sound like you're in a recording studio. Nice option to have the white color which blends well with our white cabinets. We're pretty excited to listen to music and watch tv, sports and movies. Highly suggest a Sub for extra bass.
