??? WhatHifi is not a youtuber.Nice. But isn’t this sort of like comparing a car & driver review of a 2003 Porsche 911 to a modern youtuber’s review of the same car 17 years later?

What Neumann calls the "Smiley Curve" for home hifi. link
I am sure they have had access to anechoic chamber for many years now. There is a soundstage measurement of their speaker back in 2001.One thing is using a Klippel to get anechoic measurements for a speaker this age means it gets tested in a way that generally wasn't possible or certainly wasn't done at the time. So it is closer to having an old youtuber review from the day and getting someone to finally do a proper test on the car in the current terms.
Not entirely true.Whathifi gives every British product 5 stars...
Wow, there can't be much profit margin in these speakers given the tooling and manufacturing cost compared to most speaker boxes and bought in drivers!Here is Bowers explanation for this. Starting min 18:00
AFAIK they're not 'shot' but it's B&W's house sound - big bass and maximum details in the highs at the cost of midrange. Have had the 802N myself.
