I upgraded from the old 804 to 803s new type.
I tested the following speakers in advance:
-804s. [4000 euro] Recognizable to me as 804 owner. Certainly improved over the old one but for me not worth upgrading.
-803s. [5500 euro] Wow. Enormous improvement in everything. I had the climax for every audiophile: I heard new -never heard before- voices in my standard test cd's. So I knew I had to upgrade..
-803d. [8000 euro] Goes slightly furthur where s version stopped. Certainly better but more expensive and also a big boy in your room.
When I found an advertisement of a pair of "second hand" 803s I bought them. Very happy owner. Worth every euro I payed. Every CD in my collection brings new details compared to the old 804. I think that's the ultimate fun.
greetings
