You listed:
"B&W 801 Matrix (80 series) (someone ask me $1800.00 for it, but haven't seen or heard it yet)"Just a heads up - not sure if you mistakenly called the series 80 801s "Matrix" or the seller listed them in that fashion. Either way, the series 80 was NOT a Matrix design and isn't nearly as good a speaker. Easiest ways to tell them apart: pre-matrix 801s do NOT have a front port & have environmental controls on back of the midrange housing. Matrix 801s DO have a front port and do NOT have environmental controls.
Series 80 801s sell for right around $1000
Matrix 801s tend to sell for between $1700 and $2200.
