    Db-1

    I've ordered mid january a pair of subs DB-1 in cherrywood at my local dealer's store.
    They promised me to deliver the subs end march but I'm still waiting. Yesterday when I got my dealer on the phone, he told me B&W was having some problems with the software and they weren't able to tell when they were able to deliver my order.
    Is there someone on this forum who already has a DB-1???
    What is happening???Are they having the same problems as a few years ago with the ASW-875 which was supposed to see the daylight???

    I told my dealer I would give him till the end of next month, and than I would cancel the order and buy a pair of JL Audio's :M

    Sorry to hear about your DB-1's, that really sucks. Forum member jrdiandrea recently received 2 Rosenut DB-1's, either late last month or earlier this month so it's odd to hear of your situation especially given the fact you ordered them in January.

      My black DB1 is currently at my dealer. However, as you ordered the special finish, that is probably the cause of the delay. The wood veneer 800 series was also late in comparison to the gloss black versions.

      As for software, I heard that it required you to download 200mb of patches to get it running. Not exactly plug and play. Well who knows, it might just reboot on ya in the middle of a movie. I'll let you know when I get one

          Made a few phone calls with B&W import in Belgium. Seems they are arriving next week.
          Let's hope. Any suggestions from others forum members which already have a DB-1???
          Is it more powerful than the earlier ASW855???
          Please some feedbacks about your experiences

            It is the best sub I ever had.

            ealier I had 2 ASW 825 and i changed them for one DB1.

            it's just a fantastic Sub in Stereo or in HT. ;x( .

            with the Software you can pair it perfectly to your B&W Speakers.

              I already have two ASW-855 to complete with the 800D's in my setup and one ASW-825 for the HT setup. The DB-1's will be used also for HT.


              Thanks for your info Hardy

                  Do you have the DB-1's now and what is your impression ?

                    Very nice system! Do your amps get hot close together in the cabinet?
