I asked a dealer that question - at the time he had an 802D and a N800 in his auditioning room. He said 802D was the better speaker.
For looks I guess N800 as long as it was in that red finish. For sound the 802D although if I could not tell the difference it would be tricky (I did not hear an A/B, he knew I could only afford 804s).Mac 8gb SSD Audirvana ->Weiss INT202 firewire interface ->Naim DAC & XPS2 DR->Conrad Johnson CT5 & LP70S-> Vivid B1s. Nordost Valhalla cables & resonance management. (Still waiting for Paul Hynes PS:M)

I might get more bass with N800's, but I don't think I would trade off the other areas of the 802D's.
And the 800's would simply be too big in our room.
Hope this helps.Last edited by htsteve; 11 February 2008, 15:56 Monday.- Bottom

While the 802D improves things across the board the N800 might be better balanced. Without the benefit of a side-by-side comparison I might lean towards the N800."Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today."- Bottom
