    802N vs 803S

    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?

      That is the way I am leaning. Do you think they will overwhelm a 20 X 14 room?

              RB1090 vs. RB1092 for B&W N802s
              by cjrivera
              I'm debating getting a 1090 vs 1092 for my N802's.

              I searched the old threads, but couldn't find much specifically about the N802's in an A/B test between the 2.

              I plan on using them in a 5.1 system with N804's as rears, HTM1 as a center, and powered with a RMB1095....

              Posted this in the Rotel forum, but no luck there....

              I'm debating getting a 1090 vs 1092 for my N802's. (I'm going with Rotel for the best "bang for the buck" for now)

              802N-Mark Levinson 432,Classe M400,Bryston 14BSST Upgrade from Bryston 6BSST
              by rohit1712
              I hear that ML 432+B&W 802N is a Great Combination!!! Not Sure.

              My 6BSST+802N combination is Ok. But, The Brightness & Hollowness is really unbearable at times. I had to reduce the Treble on my Lexicon for that.

              Since auditioning is not possible for me due to my...
