Tuesday a week and a half ago, my 802Di were finally delivered! (I had them on order since November)
As for my impressions in the last week and a half, I am extremely satisfied with them.
The 802Di displaced a pair of 803D in a 5.1 setup. In comparing the 802Di to the 803D, the 802Di really outshines the 803D in terms of clarity, detail and imaging. This is perhaps most evident in the upper midrange. The woodwinds, violins, and vocals really come alive with the 802Di. The 802Di really reveals nuances of how the performer articulates each note. The bass in the 802Di is deeper, fuller yet more controlled than with the 803D. All in all, from top to bottom, I’m really happy with how the 802Di have performed so far.
Actually, I believe the difference between the 802Di and 803D is greater than the difference between the 803D and 804S (going from 804S to 803D was the previous change in speakers that I made). Granted at that time, I was using Rotel for electronics. So perhaps the electronics were the limiting factor in that case.
