I could really use some first hand experience on this one fellas. I have an opportunity to get either of these models at a fairly good price. However the 800 will still cost 5K more than the 802. I've had a chance to audition the 802D's and found them to be amazing to me. The bass control was magnificent and with a very pleasing upper range. Unfortunetly I won't get a chance to audition the 800D's. My question is, if money was no object would the 800D's be a better speaker? I can come up with the extra 5K but I don't want to throw this much money away if it's not worth it. From what I've read, it appears it's the bass that is the only real difference between the 800 and 802. I would sure appreciate anything that anyone had to say on this. Especially those who may have had first hand experience listening to both models. I have a pair of McIntosh 501's and I use Integra Research equipment.
My room is 19' wide and 24' long and I listen mostly to light rock and folk/blues rock as well as some hard rock and heavy metal. But I also listen to a small amount of classical. I've owned 803S's in the past and they were sensational but of course I'm ready to get more out of my music with this next move. I am very interested in everyones opinion on this.
Thanks.
