I've had a chance to listen to Steve Brown's BMW and they were absolutely
incredible. I would say impossible to beat for the price.

That's what it seems. I've listened to MB Quart Q-Series, Focal Utopia Series,
Morel components, and Dynaudio components, and I'm having a hard time
convincing myself that they're actually worth the premium over the Type X's.
Did the Bimmer have the 2-way components, or the 3-way system?
