Anyone heard any whispers or aware of any possible interesting developments which might be forthcoming in the budget speaker arena?
I've been flip flopping about what to do wwith my system for ages, and one of the options is just to replace my old B&W DM601s which are damanged now, and carry on as before.
From lots of reading and hanging around fora, it seems like the budget standmounter pricepoint could benefit from some new impotus, but no one seems to be launching in to it. do you think we can expect anything here in 2012?
I have looked at the Arcaydis DM1s, B&W DM685s, and of course, the omnipotent MA BX2s.
I don't know how long speaker cycles tend to be, but the B&Ws in particular seem to have been around for a while. Is the turnover at this price point quite slow at the moment, or am I getting dragged in to thinking in too short termist a manner by Apple's constant release cycle?
Cheers.
