I had been aiming at upgrading to 803D’s about now. However I have read enough comments on this board and elsewhere that have persuaded me that I need to check out the 802D’s before I take the plunge. So as not to break my golden rule I’m going to delay things a little until I have the extra funds available (end September). In the mean time I want to get together a list of credible alternatives to the 802D. I’m sure the 802D’s will be what I will go for but there is no way I can drop £8K on speakers until I know they are the ones for me. I need to get the list sorted before hand so I can find dealers that have the other speakers (and preferable the 802 as well). So my question is for 802D owners, potential owners or anyone else who has an opinion: What other speakers should I be listening to? I will also be buying a new power amp to go with whatever speakers so if you know good combinations with any of your recommendations that would be very useful too.
Any speaker must fill the following criteria:
Many thanks in advance,

Any speaker must fill the following criteria:
- I have a wide range of musical tastes so I don’t want anything that is just very good at one type of music.
- I need something that will fill a large space (6.5m x 5.5m x 5m).
- I am only interested in a 2Ch music setup for now but of course something that comes from a brand with partnering HT speakers could be of use in the future.
Many thanks in advance,
James.
