Well I can say they were definitely here in the US in 1996 which is when I auditioned several B&W speakers. They may have gone away for a while and now coming back again. At any rate, they make a fantastic product and I probably would have gotten all B&W speakers instead of Klipsch if I could h

Hi. If these speakers are anything like the B & W CM5 stand mount speakers or the CM9 floor standing speakers then you won't be sorry. I have always liked B & W speakers as they have a vary balanced sound and have a very good bass response, they are also spacious and imiging is very accurate. I
