Indeed. Official launch next week (9th); assuming there's no embargo, this very website should bring you all the details/pics after that

I seen the M1's and PV1D today. The M1's look the same but I can not comment on the sound. I heard the PV1D and it was excellent. Powerful, controlled and I didn't notice it, exactly how I like a sub to sound. It looks a little different. Slightly different shape and is not shiny. It has a more matt "rough" graphite look like black Naim or Linn gear.

Mmmm...... Looks wise I still think the PV1 has the edge over the PV1D. The PV1 is stylish and discrete whereas the PV1D looks like it should be dropped through the bomb bay doors of a stealth bomber.shame on you

Have to say the M1s look nicer than my old M1s though, with the grille stretching over the entire front now and the improved look of the desktop stand

 

I hope they continue to offer it all in white.

RE: B&w m1's

Well there was an embargo on them until the 13th, but seeing as everyone else is breaking it...

Ours are running in the demo room at the moment with just a quick, basic set up as we're running them in, on the end of an Onkyo 609. Although I was never overly keen on the originals, these are sounding rather good! I'm impressed with their openness, which I never really experienced with the previous ones, and also how natural they're sounding, particularly with voices, which speakers this size usually struggle with.

I'm going to refrain from comparing it to other speaker packages at the moment until I've heard more of it and been able to assess it with more depth.... twisted
