Mr. Rubinson, I have read your Stereophile reviews with great respect for many years, and with particular interest when you shifted from B&W to the Harman/Revel sound. In the end, my ears (and wallet) had me staying with B&W. I enjoy reading all your reviews and thoughtful insights here, there, and on the Roon board. Cheers!

Seems everyone is very tight lipped about the new D4's. I can't buy the D3's now, but I hope I can save enough up for them and just wait. Hopefully they are not a big price increase.

Default When’s the D4 coming?

My next upgrade was actually going to be a pair of 805D3 speakers, but if there are rumors of a D4, I might wait a little longer. I’ve heard the 805D3 with the MC275VI and it was an excellent combo. I figured those speakers and a sub and I’d be set, I don’t know if any of you have seen them, but B&W last year did offer for a short time a walnut finish on the 805D3 and I think the 802D3 as well. I wish I could have picked up a pair. They would have looked great with my walnut McIntosh cabinets.IMG_0135.JPG

You may have trouble locating them anyway.

Just heard that dealers are no longer accepting orders for D3 versions. D4 imminent.

I wonder if there will be new finish options.

Given the success of Wilson, perhaps similar finishes?

I’d like a different wood finish.

That would be a nice finish but I want something more basic like the limited run walnut they did last year or an oak.
