Where are you Rob?
If you can get up to Tottenham Court Rd, they love a good haggle. You may be able to get the B&W MT25 for near the top end of your budget.
I haggled my MT30 7.1 down to £1460 inc, delivery. He was gonna do the regular 5.1 for £1275 inc. delivery. A useful £300 off RRP, and that's not even factoring in delivery.
And before anyone starts whining about not supporting your local dealers, I visited SSAV in Bromley & Sevenoaks, and Musical Images in Beckenham. None of them had any of the MT30s in white for me to see, and they all mis-advised on the wall mounting brackets.
