    the 804's to a set of 802N how much better are the 802's. I think I have out grown the

      The N802s are a significant upgrade over the N804s in every way but size - however, you are going to need the electronics to drive them.

      Driving them with your gear should not be a problem.

        B&W 802N owners - please help
        by amdan
        I recently bought a pair of used 802Ns. They came with an extra pair of 'bullets' which I presume fit into the FST mid-range drivers. However, I don't know which pair to use. They are both black plastic. One has holes in the centre and the other doesn't. Can anyone help with this?

        802N vs 803S
        by boroty
        I can purchase an 802N for the same price as the 803s. I have listened to the 803s, but not the 802N. I know the 802 is older model, but seem that there would be a substantial difference in soundstage........ Opinions?

        B&W 802N - Soundcare stands
        by amdan
        I have seen some positive feedback on these stands for the 802N. How much of a difference do they really make? Are they worth the $700 or would I be better advised to spend the money on power conditioning?
