B W 800N

I just received notification that B&W is about to release the 800N (not an 801). It looks like an 802 with larger woofers. Aesthetically it is better looking than the 801N, as it is not as "tubby".
I own the 800's (now actively bi-amped) and would love to know more about this new speaker. If anyone out there knows more, please post it here.

There is not much info on this speaker yet except that it had two 10" bass drivers vs the N802s 8" drivers and that it is suppose to outperform the N801 with quicker bass response. It also is going to be available in a beautiful exotic wood finish in addition to the standard finisheds.

Yes, it's gonna retail for around $15k. Yeah, it has 10" woofers comparing to 8" for the 802s which I own... I love the 802s
