General description
The Matrix series from B&W is highly sought after by music lovers from all genres and audio enthusiasts.
It is in this series that B&W introduced the ferro-fluid tweeter, a piece of aerospace technology that was later adopted by many other brands as well.
Tested in the German Audio 1988/07, the Matrix 2 emerged as the winner among competitors from MBL, Heco, T+A, ProAc and Linn.

Packaging and shipping:
The set is too large and too heavy to be shipped in a single package; unfortunately, that doubles the shipping costs.
The speakers are packed very carefully and shipped worldwide in two sturdy boxes.
We are very experienced in packaging fragile audio devices such as turntables and heavy tape recorders, 'secure packaging is our middle name.'
Pickup in Haren near Groningen is of course also possible.
