Costs aside, is there any reason not to get the 800's instead of the 802's?

Hi ,
802diamont.
800i = waste you money.
and not only "I have the Big 800di..." the 802Di have a great sound .
if yiu have a 2 ch. system maybe...but not sure...in multichannel the 802di is the Top.
with the sound from te 800di I go with another speaker brand!
800Di , yeah I have a sound amazing, bbut sorry you will a good, clear, ...
I will listen all what is omthe cd/dvd and not a disco music level with "only" "noises"!
the 802Di / 802D isthe top speaker in the B&W catalague!!!- Bottom

I cannot think of any reason besides wanting to save some cash. However if you are planning to spend that much money then there are options out there that you should listen to before making any final judgments.
Focal and Revel are two brands that come to my mind. JBL k2 and everest does also sound great..
Don't get me wrong. I love me 802D's. but 800Di is so expensive that I would consider the other options..
Also the 800Di's does take up a lot of floor space.- Bottom

So, while there are other and probably even better speakers for the money, B&W it will be. In this case 802s or 800s.B&W 800 Diamond, B&W805S, B&W DB1, Classe SSP 800, DIY Icepower ASX2 600W monos, Ayre QB9, JPlay.- Bottom

I'm a B&W fans. my last 5 new speakers, allways B&W :W
BUT
I don't believe in a 800D / 800Di for listen a real good music. well the 800Di top models B&W make a real music but if you will a speaker and listen all the instruments, all what have on the CD in a "differente " mode as the B&W are available a lot of others speakers.
is not a question of Watt: you can have a great powerampli with 60-80watt pre channel with a speakers like the Verity, Rockport, hansen,....--> is not all a 38cm. woofer to listen music,but we most see with anothers eyes too. :E
and liek wrote I like B&W, i'm not contra B&W expecially from the new diamont serie the is great!. :T
a little of a bit of self-criticism .... :W :W

I say that if you can afford it, get the 800Di. That way you won't find yourself thinking in a couple months "I wonder what it would have been like if I got the 800Di's."

Skyblue,
go listen yourself this 2 models.
@sikoniko: I dont agree your point of view. i can sure understand but eyh, a 802Di a great speaker and in a HT system WOW.
if you go with a 800Di to have a homogeneous setp waht you willl place as center????
personaly is I dont' have much time a simple "just" expensive integrated CD player and a good speaker: scene: arrivals in your home, pressed a button and immediately music!
maybe near the kitchen ... 30 minutes listening to "light" and go!
to listen / watching a concert / movie on the week end you have alll tihe time!
you can make all what you will, try test, play with the your great system
I don't know your "style of life" (and maybe in Usa is very dffernte vs. Europa)- Bottom

Your question about a center applies equally to the 802Di... so your point is lost.I'm just sittin here watchin the wheels go round and round...- Bottom

Hi there,
Thanks for all the advice. I'll go and listen to them both when available.
Right now, I'm considering listening to sense and just get the 802's which are probably more fitting for my room. But, there is always the lure of getting the bigger and better item..B&W 800 Diamond, B&W805S, B&W DB1, Classe SSP 800, DIY Icepower ASX2 600W monos, Ayre QB9, JPlay.- Bottom

I just think the 800Di's would be overkill if used primarily for HT, when you can fill in the lows with sub woofers if you had 'lesser' speakers.
IMO, the 800Di's are designed to be purely stand-a-lone speakers in a stereo set-up, as that is where you would truly hear how good they are!- Bottom

Originally posted by SkyblueNo doubt about it. I have a dream of adding some2 channel components later on. Primarily a pre amp, as I have an ayre qb-9 for source. However, reality is that my kids probably wont allow for much 2 channel listening in the forseeable future. So, perhaps 802s will do, and they can then upgraded if circumstances should change.
Lifestyle changes as the family grows and you want everyone around to be a part of the family. Unfortunately, listening to music becomes the casualty.- Bottom
