I currently have a pair of 802D's. I used them for 2 channel stereo about 75% of the time and 5-channel home theater about 25%. They sit in my hearth room which is about 19 feet wide and 20 feet deep, but open to the kitchen area at the rear. The ceilings are about 10 feet high. Acoustically the room stinks, as there are many windows, glass cabinets, glass fireplace, 50" plasma and a glass tabletop. The floor is tile with a nice rug covering about 80% of it. In other words, the acoustics are horrible, but that's what's there.
My question is this: I can get near full value for my 802's and a pretty good price on the 800's. Would it be worthwhile to upgrade, or do you think it would be a waste of money because the poor acoustics would defeat any increase in sound quality? I'm also concerned about 800D's because their weight could make them difficult to handle.
