I am currently discussing a solution with the seller mediated by Audiogon. However, if a satisfactory resolution is not reached by February 7th, I will consider publishing his Audiogon ID. I will post all updates.

Yo-yo yay a …I completely agree that Bowers needs to step up. Thus far I have communicated with both B&W in the UK and US on the availability issue. I have gotten various responses. My most recent request was for the international spares team ...

I may invite him to join the conversation first, which was suggested by Onhwy61. But will hold off naming names for now.
