Sonus Faber & Nautilus Set Up. It's tough to synchronize gain control on B&W, but after a few weeks of tweaking, it has become a marvelous speaker. I found Stradivari to be a better speaker in many dimensions. A bit dissapointed at B&W's depth of bass, but still beautiful to look. Great WAF!

How long have you had them both? The true test of great bass is not how impressive it is but how articulate it is. An articulate speaker will allow you to hear everything that is going on with the bass player and drummer but won't sound overwhelming or impressive in the low frequencies.... just a thought (although I lived in Italy for many years and I love Zuchero, my deepest respect is for British speakers....)
