    What happened to the ASW875 and 865 ???

    I thought these new EQ subs B&W had been promising would be out by now.

    Have these been dropped (I cant see any mention of them on B&W's website anymore) ?

    Thanks

      Have a look at this reply I had from B&W just over a week ago.

      I regret to inform you that the range of digital subwoofers (ASW865 & ASW875) are no longer going to be introduced.

      We are currently re-evaluating what is required for a high end active subwoofer, but as yet we are not able to confirm when a subwoofer of this calibre will be available.

      The ASW825 & ASW855 are the current high end subwoofers.

      I apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.

      kind regards

      Stephen

              That's really perculiar. I e-mailed B&W direct and that was the response they gave. On the strength of their reply I have an ASW855 coming today. I will be less than happy if there is indeed an 875. Why would they deny its existance. It just doesn't make sense.

                  I've got a pair of ASW-855 too, because I was tired waiting for the ASW-875.Just added a Velodyne SMS-1 for the room equalisation which turns to be out perfect and it costs less then buying a pair of ASW-875.
                  You can drive 3 subs trough the Velodyne sub manager.

                      ASW875 with 802D's
                      by joe_s
                      I've been told the ASW875's are not yet shipping. I'm pretty close to finalizing the purchase of a 5.1 system with 802D's as the front left and right speakers, and am leaning toward HTM1D for the center. I will probably go with McIntosh MC501's for the front three speakers.

                      This system...

                      new subwoofer? ASW875 (not yet on website)
                      by worldys
                      I found this browsing online but it isn't yet on the website. Does anyone know any more. I pasted specs below. It looks to be just like the 855 but with an acoustic correction feature.

                      RCD 865 compared to later model cd players
                      by greenjudas
                      Hello all, I have a RCD 865 cd player from around 1992 which I am quite happy with.It was Rotels flagship model back then at $600 US.Has anyone gone from older Rotel players to a later model,and if so,was there a significant improvement?I am running it with 1066/1075 combo.

                      I have an older 865 bx (cd) with a bell canto dac 1,looking for suggestions for possible transport in the rotel line.
