Amazon lists these as available since June 2011. Has there been any modifications, improvements, etc. since then? Almost 4 years, I would think there

I couldn't tell from the B&W website if they implied any improvements but I bought this set up 6 months ago and returned it due to the heating in the right speaker. After I noticed it I googled it and found it has been a concern since they were first launched.

Update on discussion with Amazon rep. He said the the following:"I have checked the details and for sure that it will be released by 27th for sure. It might be released before but for sure it will be released by 27th. There is a issue with the item for not being in stock."I don't know what he meant by the issue of not being in stock. Perhaps Amazon has not gotten them in yet.

Besides the Prime issue, I've had these speakers on my Wish List for six months (since Dec 08). When I first added them, they were $89. When I looked a short time later, they were $95. And then out of the blue, they jumped to over $130. It then seemed they hung-out at $119 for quite a while (maybe a few weeks). Last week they were in the low $90s again, and today, $107.37 (and yes, plus about $25 for shipping). **Hey Amazon:** would you care to fool us all and set the price at $49 for a few days - I promise I won't gripe about the shipping then.

The one I have was the 2011 version. I'm not sure about what improvements have been made but this one is still going strong.

I believe the updated are the only ones available now. I cannot be positive. Mine is fine.

I also pre-ordered this unit on May 6th at the $379 price. At first it would be delivered at the end of May, and then on June 5th. Now there are no estimates on when they will have them for delivery. I called the manufacturer and was told they are in stock and available at other outlets on the web. They also said they do not sell direct to Amazon. I am concerned that Amazon has sold a number of these units at a price that will cause them to lose money if they deliver. I hope this is not what is behind this mystery.

I bought mine in August....the date is Nov 11, 2014. Seems short, but they aren't gonna last that long anyway. Last time I bought them, the date was further out...about a year if I recall.

I'm pretty sure they are only sold in sets of 4....do some digging tho, you may find them on the manufacturer's site in 2's or singles

A second answer is that there are several other models from other makes now that will work, maybe even better. I was frustrated waiting for the original to make one and bought several others. Hope that is a better answer for you.

I noticed that as well and told Amazon. Amazon should be updating their product info soon.

I purchased it at the end of 2011...the unit i received still has the clicking issue. It seems like Amazon has not got any "new" batches from Sony.

All I can readily recall is that I bought mine in May 2011. I know this is not an answer to your specific question, but it is the best I can do.

This gets asked frequently and I'm happy to say there is a positive answer! Mine were dated at least a year out and I've seen others post the same response. Hope that helps!

When I bought them they were about $35.00 for 96. They are advertised at other sites for $34.99 for 86. I have ordered from Amazon, and other sites and have been told after my order was placed that the item had been back ordered since fall of 2013. If they are not available, why are they even listed?
