I disagree.
While I get that most people aren't willing to run the same speaker/drivers across their LCR spread, as they should, this is just another generic tower speaker set with an undersized...

So long as you have the ability to separate out the individual crossovers, you can make lots of gains by having large drivers in your LCR speakers, that can focus on higher frequencies than if you...

I’m the OP, so no bias here. Where did you read glowing reviews of the 9020 specifically? I’ve seen 9060 and 9040 but not 9020.

I didn’t get the impression that the B&W on display were significantly better than the 9020s. Actually didn’t enjoy those. Also kept the sub gain around 40% on def techs during demo. So yea YMMV.
