how often does B&W change its speakers

[olilugo]

Hi all,
This is my first post!!!

My question is: Does anyone know what is the life cycle of the B&W speakers.
I notice that there have been some revisions in the 800 series, mainly introducing the diamon tweeter.

I am interested in getting into a pair of 804s, that will be a big upgrade for me as right now I have polk rti6(bookshelf speakers).

So I would be interested to know if the 804s will be changing anytime soon.

Any insite into if the 804 will change in looks or get a diamond tweeter?

Thanks,

If they were going to make an announcement this year, CEDIA would be the place to do it. So wait a few weeks and find out. If not, then you know you have at least a year to go.

Doesnt B&W update one of there lines every 4 to 5 years?

That is average. Some have gone longer but that is the typical length of time a version is current. I haven't heard of anything changing in the 800 Series so it will probably another year or so before they update them.

Thanks all. I took the plung today and order a new pair of 804s. I think this are the right size for my room size.
I am very happy, I can't wait to get the call to go and pick them up.

Nice! What color did you go with?

I decided to go with rosewood.
I love the dark brown color, even when cherry eventually will become a bit darker.
Now I am looking for some cables... too many decisions.

Actually that is the fun part. You kind of get bored after you have it all! The expectation is really fun. Enjoy.
