Bowers and Wilkins 800 Series Discontinued?


I was at a local store today looking at B&W 700 and 800 series speakers. The sales person there informed me he was told by the B&W rep that the 800 series has been discontinued. Has anyone heard this? Is there any truth to it? It would sure leave a big hole in their lineup.
mjjw
oh and i thought the hearing of many hi fi lovers worldwide would be spared... 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if they will finally shelve down the highs. I bet there is a zero % chance lol. 
I think there will be many new products at the end of this year so it’s better not to buy anything new now :D Most of the brands released their current product lines 5,6,7 years ago. It’s understandable if some dealers say some products are (going to) discontinue(d), or are out of stock because of there are not enough material/supply due to the covid (rather than say they are going to release the new products because that would reduce the sales of their current stock)
