I signed up for any newsletters/announcements, but nothing came my way.

You might want to check your spamfolder.
I also got a mail from B&W today.
No earth shattering news though.

Yes. Looks like a tube with a flat top. I have no idea how it affects the sound, but I have great confidence in that company. This is really one of the few product launches I am excited about

Interestingly, here in Canada, I checked the B&W site for the 700 series line.
Many of the models are sold out. A few weeks ago, that was not the case.

The photo is a close-up of a rear "beauty" shot of an 804D3. The original photo is on the 804D3 page of the B&W website.
