    Interesting idea. I think they really should have put an iPod dock in the top. I am not too keen on it only having a single tweeter.

    I just saw the price - Are they kidding? (£1500)

    More expensive than the 50" Plasma which you might be hooking it up to! To put it another way, a fifth the cost of a pair of 802Ds.

    I really like B&W speakers, and own several, but that is whack.

    Wait till you hear it its better than any €1500 system i ave heard its really good , i just bought one for a small room with my new 42" panasonic , yeah it costs more than the tv but my sound systems always have lol:D and i have had lots of b&w speakers over the years , never the cheapest but alway gave great service which in my mind is where the value is in a quality product.

    Oh and where can ya find 802d;s for €7500, id buy em in a second if i thought i could get a pair for that! savage speakers

    £7,829

    I was surprised too,

    How about £3600 - just hire a van and grab a ferry:

    Would want the original boxes though. Could be a scam of course.

    The yamaha YS1 is strangely effective I know not anywhere near this unit but a nice compromise

    Could you please expand a bit on that. How was the surround effect in comparison to a 5.1 set up ? How was stereo.

    Would I be right in saying it can't handle any of the new HD sound formats on Blu Ray since it only has optical/digital in ? That would be a major omission at that price point and a deal breaker for many.

    I just got hold of a Yamaha YSP-1100 plus table for a great price and hope to set it up next week. Have to admit the Panorama looks a lot sexier but all the comparative reviews I've seen say that the Yamaha's 40 directional minispeakers that bounce sound off the walls trump the processing trickery used in other sound bars. I'm sure the Panorama will be a lot better for stereo and music, it'll be interesting to see the reviews on the surround performance.
