Thanks for the background. I don't claim to be an audio historian. Do you know when that model was introduced? Perhaps they meant it was of the first 50 pairs of DM6? Or else it was another audio salesman lie. Guess the model number "6" should have been a clue that it wasn't their very first.
At any rate, they were obscure at that time compared to their current ubiquity. No one, and I mean no one I knew, had heard of B&W speakers. Even salesmen at the other three (3!) audio stores I frequented did not recognize the name.
The DM6 sold well because they were excellent speakers and once people heard them, they wanted a pair. A friend of mine bought a new pair after hearing mine, and I know his were slightly different, the design having already been revised. I sold my Yammie NS1000M's soon after buying the B&W's because they no longer sounded good enough, even run by my Threshold 400A, another fairly obscure product at the time.
Peace,
