I recently bought a pair of 804s to go with my htm3 center. I have a relatively small room (12 x 20), and was worried the 803s would provide too much base - especially since these speakers had to go right up against the wall. What I quickly discovered was that with such a clear spectrum of midrange and highrange sounds, my ear needed a fuller and deeper bass. I tried biamping, but more power simply cannot substitute for the smaller woofer and cabinet. I cured my upgraditis by exchanging my 804s for 803s. They sound simply unbelievable. Specifically, the lower end of the midrange blends seemlessly with the upper end of the lowrange, and the overall depth of the low end is incredible. I have no idea why I was worried about too much bass, and initially chose the 804s. The 804s is a great speaker, but it honestly sounds flat with a fragmentation between the middle and low ranges compared to the 803s. Anyone who is trying to decide between the two should definately hold out for the 803s.
I didn't even bother to listen to the 803d or 802d since I don't have the components to hear the difference.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Does anyone else have a good upgrade experience?
