Holla,
So I went down to the only B&W guy in town looking for a PV1. They didn't have any. They did, however, have this KEF. http://reviews.cnet.com/separate-speakers/kef-htb2-silver/4505-7869_7-32317403.html
(my link option isn't working, cut and paste. Sorry!)
It'll hide away well and if someone does notice it, at least it looks kind of cool. I'm pretty sure all KEF does is rip B&W off and make their stuff half as expensive. Indeed, this sub is 700 euros compared to the PV1's 1500 euros. The only thing is, no active volume or crossover. The BL2 also doesn't have that, but does it matter? Does a BeoSound system react differently to a BL2 than it would to any other sub?
I'll go back and borrow it next week to try out with my own system at home.
