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
There'll be a three-position setting for the treble: bright, shrill, and piercing.

B&W vs Bose, 
Shootout at the highly distorted corral. 
I might actually perfer Bose. 
The  famous yellow cone midwoofers,,haha, what a  hook. 
I see B&W is promoting a  $60k speaker, I guess they see what Wilson's are fetching,,they figure maybe we could get $60G's.

 boom/boomy/  KABOOMMMM
The 800 series of B&W speakers with diamond tweeters sound excellent top to bottom. B&W seems to have got the reputation of being bright & boomy (for whatever reason), but it's certainly not in that series. Just saying...
