    B&W 803D Awarded EISA 2005-2006

    Best Product 2005-2006 High End Audio Component.

    Please read below the official quote from EISA:

    "A diamond is forever, so the saying goes. And B&W has good cause to believe its new reference speaker range, named after the famous gem, will stand the test of time. The heart of this design is an all-new 25mm pure-diamond dome tweeter, whose superlative physical properties eliminate almost all the inherent problems of alternative hard-dome materials. In the 803D the diamond tweeter joins a trademark B&W Kevlar midrange unit, and three 180mm woofers featuring stiff, light Rohacell. The sound – a beguiling combination of full-bodied lows, warm midrange and smooth treble – marks a welcome departure from the traditional B&W approach."

    I assume the "departure from the traditional B&W approach" is in reference to the design rather than the sound!!!

      802D or 803D Quandry
      by DrJRapp
      I'm in a quandry right now debating between the two. The HDM2D will be the center regardless of which mains I choose. I've heard the 802Ds but not the 803Ds. A dealer has assured me that the overall sound is similar. Can anyone comment?

      My wife doesn't really like the looks of B&W...

      My experience with 803Diamond versus 803D
      by Mark_NZ
      I was a very happy owner of 803D loudspeakers for over 3 years - so happy in fact that I ended up owning 3 pairs over that time. Long story, but in short the first pair was replaced by B&W after I discovered a relatively minor veneer flaw (huge kudos to B&W support :T ). The second pair I...

      803D vs. 802D vs. 804S - a subjective comparison
      by Hannu
      I had an in-depth private demo at a scandinavian dealer last week. I compared 802D's to 803D's and finally listened to a pair of 804S's just to keep the things in scale. I've lived with a pair of the first generation N804's for 4 years now.

      The electronics consisted of a stack of the...
