I just wanted to share my excitement as to my recent upgrade to 804s (rosenut) from my 683's.
I wasn't planning on doing this upgrade at this time, but with the change in the 800 series I didn't feel I would be willing to shell out for the price increase later. My dealer had one pair of 804s which were their demos for the last few months, and he indicated that he could not get anymore of the 804s.
Another gentlemen was looking at them and trying to decide between the 805s and the 804s.. I bought them out from under him.. I guess if you snooze you loose.
Anyways, I got them home and setup this evening. I have only had an hour or so to listen to them.. My first impression is WOW... I knew the 683's weren't as good at the 804s, but I am baffled at how there is such a difference in resolution, clarity and sound stage from a speaker that is about the same size, has a very similar driver arrangement and is same manufacturer.
Even my wife, who rolls her eyes when I talk about sonic difference, immediately said she noticed a huge difference and that the sound was excellent. I was worried she was going to say they all sound the same to her.
Well.. I am a happy man! But of course, what thread is worth anything without pictures....
