I didn't see any price list and it was a casual conversation but it was being thrown out around 15%-20% for the 800s. He didn't know or would not say what upgrades that included. Take this with a grain of salt, it sounded like he only saw the price briefly and didn't commit it to memory. I would not want to mislead anyone here with bad info. We will see if I was correct in a couple months.

Seems like it will put the 800D4 at around $35,000

In Canada, if 20% the price would be $44k+ for 800D4 and $8,500 for the HTM1D4. Ouch!

Makes my 800D in Golden Cherry with the warm patina even more appealing. I would think the values should hold up even better for the older series.

Me, I'm waiting for 804, so, my expectations are low and reasonable
- 6-inch continuum drive - maybe new shape of solid body tweeter, heavier - maybe some new sound-optimized internal Matrix construction, not like "container frame" style Design? D3 is already perfect. Can't imagine 804 adopts Turbine Head anyhow, but who knows... |

I tried in vain to prize info from my local dealer today, but he was either genuinely uninformed or a very good pretender. The best he could give me was an opinion that the D4 would likely be an incremental improvement, similar to D1 > D2, and that the new models should be hitting the showroom floor sometime in August.
Fortunately, hindsight is only 2-3 weeks away. |

Hopefully at list we'll see Continuum cones upsizing as both 600 and 700 series adopted larger Continuum drives
