Gave them a listen. Nicer than a Stingray, and not much more $$.
There's a pair in a showroom in NYC...along with a Shrimp.
Tasty, clean tube sound.

I have the Snappers and have been very pleased with them.

One of the things I have been thinking about is running them in place of the front two channels of my mcintosh amp. do you think that would be totally weird- front two channels are tube and the rest are ss?

How about bi-amping the B&W's with the solid state to the bass. Best of both worlds. It would all depend on the internal wiring of the speaker I guess.

I believe that is known as vertical bi-amping. It's my understanding when doing this that you need to make sure both components can accept the same level of input line signal - i.e. turning the volume up on your pre results in the same level of volume increase for both components. I was looking into doing this and the guys at Upscale Audio said it could be somewhat tricky.

Yes it can be tricky, but I've seen it done and it didn't sound bad. Was it correct?? I don't know.

well it has to wait. both the pre and the amp need to go back to mcintosh for a service. my optical in on my pre is going wacko. my amp has a light out and my right channel is somewhat muted (almost like putting a 10db pad on it)
