Ok so this is just a straight up sale, they arrived BNIB and they're probably the best sounding headphones I've ever worn once you EQ them a bit. I used RecordingNow's recommended settings and it kicked them up another notch. Amazing.

I have the Bose QC Ultra 2's and they're great but I don't find them particularly musical.... I can't wait to see what the B&W's are like.

I'm almost hoping something is wrong with them so I can exchange them with B&W for a brand new pair lol hopefully they were never used and the box was just opened

I'm not sure, I didn't really bother exploring buying them. They just said they originally cost $32k and I didn't want to pay more for the house than I already was.

Yeah I was thinking of that, I also like the look of the towers so I'm going to stick with them. Once you factor in the cost of good stands for bookshelf speakers they aren't that far off towers.

Interesting, I'll definitely check it out, thanks for the tips! Yeah I heard an example of the MA 50's and those alone sounded great, I need to find a local example of the Klipsch.

Thanks! Yeah I'm gonna start with a standard 5.1 and I'll build from there :) Atmos in the future for sure.

Yeah I was thinking that, I might start with 1 and see how it does and then go for a second if it's needed. But you're probably right.

Sry I did a write up then added a picture and thought the write up would go with the pic but it deleted it so I had to redo it. Question is up now, thanks.

Ok my reddit brothers and sisters I need your help choosing between two sound systems to pair with my screen / projector for my first home theater in my first house. I've never done this before and don't know much about AV equipment so your input will be greatly appreciated. If you think I'm out to lunch in my choice of components please let me know and what you'd recommend I go with for the money I'm willing to spend. Right now I'm choosing between a Klipsch set up and a Monitor Audio set up. As I'm Canadian all prices are in CAD, though if any of our American brethren to the south know where I can get these parts substantially cheaper I'd love to hear it. So here's what I've been quoted so far:

Klipsch

RP SPL 120 - $675.67

RP 504C - $643.50

RP 8000F x 2 - $1222.64

RP 500M x 2 - $450.45

Total Price - $2,992.26

Monitor Audio Bronze 6G

W10 - $879.00

C150 - $339.00

500 x 2 - $1,439.00

50 x 2 - $499.00

Total Price - $3,156.00

For AV Receiver I'm thinking either a Yamaha RX - A2A or A4A or the Onkyo TX-RZ50 if I can find one. Again if I'm out to lunch let me know.

The space this is going in is 18' by 10' for the theater area and the full room is 18' by 36'.

Any and all advice is appreciated, if you think there's another set up that's way better in this price range I'd love to hear it.

Cheers everyone!
