I know people like them and to each his own but what do people compare them to?

As people have said, speakers are extremely subjective. B&W's don't rank particularly high for me, but neither do Focals. (the only ones I thought were decent were the electra 1037be, and they were way overpriced) *shrug*

B&W's are supposedly one of the best selling speakers on the planet. They must be doing something right.
