I want to buy a pair of B&W 802D's, however would like to hear some advice from you veterans before running to the shop.
1) I just read that a new series of 802d is due to come out, so is it worth waiting? Do you expect the 'old' 802d to drop significantly? Currently they cost HKD 107k, which is 13,800 USD. Are the new ones sounding and looking different?
2) Along with the speakers, I will need a new amp. I was thinking of the Accuphase E-450 as it has some excellent reviews, but am not sure if they go along well with the 802. Is it a good choice or are there any other recommendations for a similar budget (around USD 6k)?
Thanks in advance
