Take a look at this message from Chelseaflower :

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
