    Matching serial numbers, are the tweeters blown? Ive replaced 2 tweeters on mine. The Nautilus tweeter seem to "come apart" where its glued. Kinda cheezey IMO, but im glad its only $99 for a tweeter and not $999.

    Other than that id say condition, and does it have original boxes? The boxes are not avail anymore.

      that deal felt through, didn't want to send detailled pictures. From one email account when asked says he's 1st. owner, from another says he's 2nd. Too bad, he was only 2hrs away, couldn't trust the guy.
      If anyone know of someone selling their N802 in Buffalo, NY. area or withing 2hrs or so, let me know. Rosenut is preffered color.

        That sucks. Sorry to hear that. But glad to hear you didn't get into a bad deal.

          This was actually YOUR LUCKY DAY. Everytime I've gotten involved in a deal where the story didn't match up, and I went ahead anyway I got F'ed.

              If the seller really wanted to sell them he would provide details. I alway ask for an off the wall picture, like add a Coke can on the front left of the speaker and then send me that picture. If he can produce that picture then you know that he has them. Twice I've asked for such and never heard from them again.

                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.

                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?

                SET amp with 802N
                by amdan
                Has anybody tried a S.E.T amp with the 802N? I would like to use one for the mid and tweeter and a ss for the bass. Will a S.E.T amp have enough grunt?
