I wonder if they're really using the continuum. If they are, seems kind of early to unleash their secret sauce of their 80xd3 series.

In the new version of HiFi News B&W has issued a press release with photos along with an ad showing the drivers exploded out of the cabinet to show the details of the new motors.
They have included:
Continuum Midrange FST but in a different basket and magnet assembly
Aerofoil base cone with driver skin of paper versus carbon and sandwich core of EPS versus Syntactic foam (not sure of the benefits from an audio perspective), including different magnet and basket assemblies from 800 series.
Two piece aluminum/carbon tweeter in one piece extrusion sitting on top similar to CM series.
The top of the line 702S2 includes 3 bass drivers (not sure of size probably 6.5 inch).
Should sound good for the money. Will be interesting to see the reviews when they come out.
