    Got them - 802d

    This afternoon I took delivery of my 802d, replacing my N803.

    Amazing.

                    Congrats Kobus - pity about the wedding!

                    Never mind - there is always today to get your diamonds working.

                    You will notice a big improvement over the next 100 hours or so of listening, although they do sound good right out of the box.

                    Must pay you a visit to listen.

                                            Try them without the front panels and get a stand for the HTM1.

                                            nice room, but how's the soundstage with the opening on the left ?

                                                        Nice !

                                                        I would suggest some room treatment.

                                                            Hi Kobus,

                                                            Great setup!

                                                            What did you use as spikes on your 802D's? I'm having trouble on deciding what to do with mine (haven't removed the roller glides yet).

                                                            Mav

                                                              Nice! I need a raise! I second the suggestion for considering room treatments. And if you have the money a center with the Marlin head. Still, that is a beautiful looking setup, and I bet it sounds good too ;-) I want!

                                                                I am currently using Proceed PAV+PDSD feeding Proceed Amplification for the center channel, using Mark Levinson 23.5 driving front channels, cheap amplifier driving the rear surrounds.

                                                                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.

My local dealer does not have every colour on display - they've only the cherry & rosenut - with B&W also being seemingly reticent to post pictures on their website.
