I talked to my dealer today and can trade in my 802Ds for a pair of 800Ds. I saved up enough money to either do this trade-in or to buy an Ayre C-5xe. If I get the 800Ds I will continue to use my Denon DVD-5910 as a source component and will have to bi-amp the 800D through my 9B SST until I save up enough for either the 14B SST or a pair of 7B SST (Brystons). Then I will finally be able to save up again for the Ayre C-5xe.
This is a tough decision for me and I would like to make the decision by Monday morning. During that weekend I will bring the ayre C-5xe for a home audition to directly compare it with my Denon DVD-5910. This could ultimately be what makes up my mind.
I wanted to see what kind of insights people on this forum may have concerning my dilema, since I have come to trust and respect the members of this board as a whole. Please feel free to be as candid as possible. I know that all drivers and crossovers on the 800Ds are better quality than those on the 802Ds, but it is 8k more in money to spend.
Thanks!
