I haven't heard them, but I've read some good reviews of them.  Specifically the 303's.  They don't do a lot of bass - they bottom out around 72Hz - that's not much bass - a subwoofer would be recommended.  Apparently they won't go super loud either.  So I guess it depends on your listening habits and the equipment you currently have.

If you're looking for an all-purpose speaker (i.e. no subwoofer) I'd probably keep looking.  If you could step up to the 600 series (more money, of course) I think you'd gain quite a bit of performance.

Edit: here's a link to B&W site to do some comparisons (no prices, though)

Good luck.

I would do the B&W 600s over the 303s. The 600s are far more refined sounding as they use a kevlar mid as opposed to the fibreglass in the 303. They have a little less bass than the 303 but are definately a better speaker at the same price.
