Anyone heard anything else about the new  B&W 800 series monitors?

Should be interesting...

[MASSIVE Mastering]

Very pretty...

Yah, they look just like the Nautilus line, but am curious as to how they sound. Every incarnation of the 800 series has sounded a good bit better than the last and I imagine these will not be any different...

I'm hoping the tweeter is an improvement....the only area i'm not really happy with....slightly metallic sounding, fizzy, coloured, distorted......FWIW i spoke to someone who heard the new 805's...said it was a big improvement over the old 805's.....

Not to hijack, but...

I've still got my eye on a pair of those. Care to elaborate...?
