    Pre-Purchase Inspection Service for Used B&W N802

    Porsche does it,

    Ferrari does it.

    Is the service availble from B&W to confirm the conditions of high end 2nd hand B&W gear such as N802? (Or is it high end enough to call for such service?)

    Well, I don't believe there is that service, but maybe you can take them to a B&W dealer and ask him as a favor to inspect them, but first I would be around that store asking questions of equipment! Just to let them think you are a client! :twisted:

      Well, then how risky is it buying 2nd hand N802?

      If they look perfect from the outside, sound good in an audition, what else should I look for?

          If they sound OK, they are OK!

            My current set-up are as follows: N803, HTM1 and SCM1. I had a Mirage BPS-400 sub that I sold recently.....

            N802 vs 803D
            by Jeff
            I have read all the comparisons between the N802 and the new 803D's. What I can determine, most (not all) feel the N802 have not been beat by the 803D's. Each speaker has it's strong point, but niether is the clear winner. IMO the speaker with the best midrange/tweeter combo should win (for a number...

            by HuskerInTX
            I have an RB 980 BX Stereo Amp. Of course this unit is several years old, but, I love the sound. The amp is working fine, but, over time some items (caps, etc.) can start to drift from original specifications. I don't want to buy a new amp. Has anyone had their amp 'upgraded' with new and or better...

            Discount on N802
            by Ash
            Hi everyone, I need your opinion on this matter. My B&W dealer has a N802 brand-new, he's offering it to me for $7,450. Do you think that this is a good price for this to be replaced model. I have read amazing reviews about the N802 and I only dreamt about having this speaker.
