B&W PM1

I heard the B&W PM1's yesterday. I was blown away by their sound. Really good. Smooth, clear, detailed, wide soundstage, and amazing bass for a small speaker. We all thought there was a sub on, but there was none. They were hooked up to simple Rotel electronics. An RA-05SE integrated amp and a 06SE CD player. About $500 each only. I am trying to imagine the sound quality with better electronics.
Just curious if anyone else here has listened to them yet and what your impressions are? I am thinking of buying a pair. Also, anyone know where they are made? Still in England or in China now? Any good advice on matching integrated/amp for them? Thanks.

I think that the 800 series are made in Britain and everything else is made in china.

The PM1's I've heard are incredible for small speakers. They have very small woofers, but you'd never know it by their sound. Still, I wouldn't make these my first pick for a system that you want to play very loud. Great for an office or den though. Very natural sound with great imaging and the midrange is very nice for their price category. One of the most "grown-up" sounding small speakers I've heard.
