I've been to four B&W dealers in three states during the past month, trying to decide if I wanted to add different main speakers to my system.
I found it interesting discussing what B&W may come out with in the future, including my desire that they include like an 805D to their 800 Diamond Series line-up. Two of the dealers said their contacts at B&W had eluded to the planning and design of their next 800 Series (or whatever it's going to be called) to be constructed like the XT Series, which "feature an immensely rigid, one-piece extruded aluminium enclosure".
It was said that their current wooden cabinets are very labor intensive, and they have had difficulties keeping up with demand. (this may be a non issue now that the global economy is heading for the cellar).
They also felt the price would probably be much higher.
Is the cabinet on the Signature Diamond speaker made of aluminum?
