I cancelled them and the brand new ones only cost me a couple of hundred more. It’s my birthday and Xmas present too. So it’s really cool.

My Wedge is based on the B&W 600 series speakers and the Formation Duo is based on the B&W 700 series and 800 series speakers.

Judging from WiFi, five of the neighbours all have Sonos devices. No Naim, B&W, B&O devices. Not good. Did you audition the Duo, or it's based on the specs/reviews?

It’s based on how good the Wedge is.

I spoke about the Wedge and how I feel about it here in more detail:

B&W Wedge - used one

Can you connect it to your TV? Cheers This speaker is incredible the sound it makes is awesome! It’s way better than the Kef LS50 Wireless speakers. Better than Sonos Soundbar too by some way. WHF review: https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/bowers-and-wilkins-formation-wedge It smashes the...

Its basically reproducing my home cinema sound on DTS Master Audio and all of the other soundtracks you get with discs! It’s so cool.

On closer inspection they looked used so I told them about it and got a refund. Not getting anymore either after closely comparing them to my HC system they weren’t that good.
